Description
Weeeellllll, expectations being colored by the 2021 vintage “hype” and the big Galloni score, when we were poured BOTH the 2021 Le Vigne AND the soon to be released 2022 Le Vigne, I was plain blown away by this 2022, and preferred it. This wine is made as the harmonized combination of the very best barrels of the historical core of the three main estate vineyards: the Istine, Cavarchione, and Casanova dell’Aia vineyards, with the three lines pictured on the label to represent their different exposures (direction that the vineyard faces). The absolutely gorgeous chorus of layered intensity/complexity has so much prettiness!, finishes all in harmonized rising freshness and vitality, with zero traces of any “hot vintage” character. The 2021 next to it was very good, perhaps a bit deeper in its ripeness, but not as precise and fresh. I gave the 2022 a little * in my tasting notes…..I’m telling ‘ya, if you’re reading these actual notes, don’t miss out on this 2022 bottling which was NOT included on the 1st offer this summer. Get a 6pk/mags, and thank me later, this stuff is class in a glass!!……
