2016 Platinetti Guido Vigna Ronco al Maso, Ghemme DOCG

Featured in Gourmet Traveller Wine Dec-Jan.

Very limited stock. 

94+ Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front – “A lot of spice and biscuit, dried rose, ripe cherry and red fruits, almost a liquorice perfume or those Ricola alpine sweets. Medium-bodied, plush and fine dusty tannin, a quiet succulence of cherries and ripe raspberry, freshness and cool length with a slightly sappy tang. Beautiful wine, though it’s a little shy at present.” Drink 2021-2035
