“Produced with grapes from head-pruned and dry-farmed vines planted in the 1980s on limestone soils. There is more freshness here, still with Mediterranean character, some fine-grained, dusty tannins, some chalky/dusty texture and a tasty finish. The aromas of Mediterranean herbs grew as the wine sat in the glass.
