A brilliant red, sporting cherry, raspberry, pomegranate and floral aromas and flavors. As this develops on the palate, notes of earth, iron and wild herbs add detail, showing fine balance and length. Drink now through 2036.

All three of Dievole’s vineyard-designated annatas are crafted from young vines, fermented in concrete and aged in untoasted 40-hectolitre casks. Petrignano, which means stony place, boasts the greatest presence of schistose Galestro and tilts northeastward at 350 metres above sea level. The most elegant and complete of the triad, there's a sumptuousness to the dark cherry and blackberry nose. Appealing whiffs of sunbaked stone and allspice interject. Juicy and fresh, the palate boasts sneaky concentration and smooth, velvety tannins, with mouth-cleansing acidity and lively energy. Trails off with rosehip tea. 92 points." - Decanter 11/24
