Tasting notes
The 2021 Ampio delle Mortelle is one of the best wines I have tasted here. Dark, ample and enveloping with notable depth, the 2021 is seriously impressive. Blackberry, gravel, incense, cloves, dried herbs and a kiss of French oak all build in the glass. There's a lot of wine here. I would give this at least a year or two in bottle, as the tannins are rather imposing in the early going. The Ampio is a rare Tuscan red in which Carménère plays the leading role.
