JK14 Malanotte Piave DOCG 2016 750ml

“Crafted from the ancient Raboso grape that is native to our region, Malanotte is a style of wine that almost died out. My friends at Casa Roma winery kept a passion for this remarkably rich and complex red, one of the longest maturing of any Italian wines, and they have helped in its resurrection a story that seems very fitting when they retell the legend of Malanotte being the wine Jesus shared at the Last Supper!

This wine presents an intriguing bouquet of red fruits from blackberry to keri-berry, dark plum and black currant; other aromas include wood spice, toast, tar, brown sugar and smoke. On the palate dry, firm, plenty of tannins engage and challenge the senses and in typical Italian fashion dominate and demand food; plenty of acidity then fruit flavours that match the nose. Weighty and quite meaty, with a lengthy and fairly concentrated finish.”
