The nose of the 2019 Laurea is pristine, pure and energetic, open and inviting. Notes of cassis and blackberry predominate the intense aromatics, creating an alluringly fragrant wine that demands to be tasted immediately. On the palate, the wine offers an abundance of flavors of brambly black fruits that are rich, round and juicy, all supported by notes of ash and tar, with super fine tannins that lend gravitas to this overtly generous wine. Notes from winemaker Nigel Kinsman:"This wine combines opulent ripe fruit flavors with striking, silky, almost Graves-like tannins that persist on the palate; this is a serious red wine. | Accendo
