As is usually the case with Rugiens

The exceptionally rich and full-bodied flavors possess a textured mouth feel in large part because of the impressive amount of sap before culminating in a driving if slightly warm finish where the very dense tannins are largely if not completely buffered

with zesty citrus notes adding lift and clarity to the dense fruit

The 2015 Lodovico is a wine of real character and personality

Ceretto Size:6x750ml As is usually the caseHere's a new submission from Ceretto. The organic 2018 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione has a sweet spot with bright cherry and dried cranberry. The rest of the bouquet is framed by licorice, wildflower and grilled herb. It shows more power on the palate with firm tannins over a mid weight but long lasting mouthfeel.
