2017 Tenuta Di Castellaro Corinto

A pure expression of the Corinto Nero grape (also found in Greece and Turkey with different names), the 2017 Corinto offers a fascinating taste of a little-known variety. The wine opens to an inky dark appearance. The bouquet shows impressive focus and linearity with black cherry and blackberry preserves. The wine is packed tight with vibrant energy and zesty primary fruit. Some 4,000 bottles were made. This wine should be released in the United States in February 2019.
