the ninth edition of contadino (the fruit is from the 2011 harvest) is made from a wild blend of nerello mascalese (70%), nerello cappuccio, alicante boushet, uva francesca, minella nera, minella bianca and insolia. the wine shows an amazingly spicy quality that awakens the palate with a sudden jolt, followed by dried fruit, black ash and dried herb notes. the intensity is remarkable.
