Sadie Family, Columella Vintage:2016 toasted spice

toasted spice

it was aged in oak barriques for 12 months

Stefano Frascolla and Tua Rita have almost single-handedly put Suvereto on Italys winemaking map

the balance is from several Morey 1ers

with compelling perfume to the dark fruit and mineral flavors

Sadie Family, Columella Vintage:2016 toasted spiceThe 2017 Columella has an outgoing, intense bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit mixed with sage, tobacco and thyme, that seems a little smudged initially but gains clarity with aeration. The palate is medium bodied with fine grained tannins, plenty of red berry fruit, a generous sprinkling of white pepper and a hint of fennel. Powerful yet refined, and very focused and harmonious on the finish. Gorgeous. Neal Martin
