The 2007 Colli di Rimini Montepirolo is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Cabernet Franc. It shows rich and supple density with aromatic highlights of black fruit, spice and licorice. A pretty mineral note of crushed stone also appears. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022. San Patrignano is a truly inspiring story. It is a community center for recovering drug addicts located on a sprawling property with vineyards, horses and farm stables for making cheese and sausage. There is even an excellent on-site restaurant where everything served is sourced or produced on site. All the labor at San Patrignano – from making wines to the restaurant staffing – is performed by the recovering addicts as part of their reintegration learning. The wines are absolutely stunning and have shown an impressive stylistic evolution over the years. When I first tasted San Patrignano a decade ago, they mirrored the outgoing personality of consulting enologist Riccardo Cotarella. Today, however, they have embraced an ethereal and exceedingly understated persona.
