2020 Platinetti Guido 'the Guido Rosso'

The Guido is somewhat of 'super rosso' - it's what you might call a field blend of merlot, croatina, barbera, uva rara, nebbiolo, vespolina and erbaluce.

It's an eclectic blend from mainly 60-100 year old vines, that somehow, strangely - works an absolute treat. It's produced from a series of ancient trellis systems some of the bush vines may be up to 130 years of age.

92 Points, Kasia Sobiesiak (The Wine Front)- "It’s all plush and powdery at first, filled with cranberry juice, red plums and raspberries leaving tart tension in the aftertaste. It has tobacco accents along with lightly brewed black tea, dried violets and roses, allspice. It’s charming and light-ish and very approachable but give it a moment and it will open up beautifully in the glass and gain complexity. It’s an evolving bouquet, the perfume of potpourri wrapped in dusty brick tannin and some hard-to-capture freshness, something along the lines of dried citrus and pomegranate high tones. Intriguing and compelling wine."
