Uvaggio 2015 Vitigno Oscuro Charbono (El Dorado)
With its laser focus on black fruit flavors, this firmly structured wine has a distinct personality. Generous tannins and a good dose of fruit acidity provide plenty of grip on the palate. Each sip reveals more depth and layers, suggesting it's a good bottle to lay down for future consumption. Best after 2022.
