The 1996 Collio Rosso della Centa stands out as one of the most impressive wines in this mini retrospective of Borgo del Tiglio's celebrated Merlot-based red. At 23 years old, now is the ideal time to drink this stunning wine. It shows no sign of slowing down, so you could conceivably hold it longer still. This wine is explosive in its adulthood, retaining great structure and generosity. It is open and beautiful, like a rose at its peak blossom. Its inner sweetness is what I think has carried it forward with verve. This is an exceptional vintage of Rosso della Centa.
