1999 Ronchi di Cialla Schioppettino di Cialla (1.5LT)

Notes

An incredible opportunity to taste a fully mature wine from the family that rescued Schioppettino from extinction, this 1999 magnum from Ronchi di Cialla is a rare treasure. After 26 years of slow evolution in the large format, this wine is in a perfect place, showcasing profound complexity and elegance. The nose is wonderfully aromatic and savory, with the grape's signature black pepper note having softened into a gentle spice, beautifully layered with aromas of dried sour cherry, forest floor, and saddle leather. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and seamless, with fully resolved, silky tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides remarkable freshness. A stunning, contemplative red drinking at its absolute peak.
