Poised for greatness with proper cellaring, the 2016 Riserva Ghè comes from a small monopole plot of old vines in the Cerretta vineyard that produces just 800-1,000 bottles of this wine in only the finest vintages. This wine is 100% Michet clone which is green harvested to yield a mere 3 clusters per plant. It projects the grandeur, finesse and magnificence of the profound 2016 vintage as waves of mentholated ripe morello cherry, balsam, omegranate and bight plum lead the charge. With time in the glass, it reveals layers of roses, spices and crushed wet rocks.
The palate delivers captivating elegance with perfectly balanced fruit, acid and succulent ripe tannins. This is an utterly spellbinding wine that will age slowly and gracefully. Give it the cellar time it deserves to bring out its potential. It can be enjoyed young but be cautious not to over-oxygenate it.
