Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Oct 18
Super-expressive today, the 2015 Seifile is wonderfully dense and pliant, yet also retains a mid-weight sense of structure that avoids the super-concentrated style of years past. A move towards more neutral oak lets the fruit really come through nicely. Even so, the 2015 is quite reticent, which is probably a good thing for its long-term prospects. Red cherry jam and pomegranate fruit are front and center, with hints of spice, lavender and menthol that add fragrance.

Italy

Italy, renowned for its diverse wine styles, produces wines from a vast range of indigenous grapes, reflecting its varied climates and soils. Notable reds include Barolo and Barbaresco from Piedmont, made from Nebbiolo, and Brunello di Montalcino from Tuscany, crafted from Sangiovese. Chianti Classico, also from Tuscany, is known for its vibrant Sangiovese-based blends, while Veneto's Amarone is a rich, full-bodied wine made from dried grapes. Top producers like Gaja, Antinori, and Marchesi di Barolo exemplify Italy's commitment to quality and tradition in winemaking.
