Reviewed May 2025A restrained wine, showing smoky minerality and small red fruits with an almost sour edge and a whiff of flowers. Full-bodied, chewy and tightly knit with superfragrant character and slightly austere yet good tannins. Best after 2026.

Vinous
The 2023 Rosso Contrada S is a gentle giant wafting up with a delicate bouquet of white smoke, ash, dried violet, lavender and blackberry. This washes across the palate with ease, silken in feel with a liquid floral concentration that coats the senses as ripe red and blue fruits swirl over a stream of vibrant acidity. An array of sweet spices combine with purple inner florals and round tannins as this tapers off, structured yet wickedly fresh. The 2023 is a total success for this challenging vintage.

"Sciaranuova" means "New Lava." Located at 850 meters on a flow from the 1600s, this vineyard produces wines of dark, brooding intensity. "S" is savory, spicy, and ferrous, with notes of blood orange, iron, and black tea. It has a firm tannic backbone and a distinct balsamic lift. A wine of structure and depth.
