Vinous Eric Guido - 01 Apr 23
An aromatic blend of crushed black cherries and blueberries complemented by exotic spices and tobacco wafts up from the 2011 Rosso della Centa. This prances across the palate, energetic and mineral-like, with tart wild berry fruits enhanced by brisk acidity. The 2011 finishes with lingering tension and adolescent tannins, leaving licorice and inner rose nuances to fade.

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.
