The 2004 Recioto Pergole Vece offers plenty of potential but today comes across as an infant. It is clearly fresher and more nuanced than the 2003, with expressive layers of violets, cassis, blackberries and spices that are supported by notable structure. All this wine needs is a few years of bottle age to come together, it should drink splendidly until age 12, perhaps longer. The Recioto Pergole Vece is a blend of 60% Corvina, 20% Rondinella and 20% Croatina, Cabernet Sauvignon and other varieties. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2016.
