I had the pleasure of tasting the 2012 RC2 while during a visit to Falesco earlier this month. An impressive, baritone inky wine composed of 100% Sagrantino. The nose: a kaleidoscope of black fruit jelly, blackberry reduction, anise, along with a touch of iron and brick dust, black olive and ochre … The palate is big and structured, reinforced by grippy tannins at the front and mid-palate. Black black tea, cedar, green peppercorn emerge at the close. Serious, bloody, brooding. 14.7% ABV | Sample
