The estate’s 2006 Rosso della Centa is one of the most overlooked reds in Italy, but in top years it has the ability to age exquisitely. Deceptively medium in body, the Rosso della Centa bursts from the glass with layers of dark red berries, grilled herbs, spices and espresso, showing remarkable tension between the ripeness of its fruit and the tautness of its underlying structure. Clean mineral notes frame the long, silky finish. This is another standout from Borgo del Tiglio. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026. Proprietor Nicola Manferrari has few peers in Friuli, or Italy for that matter. This is a gorgeous set of truly exceptional world-class whites. As always, the only issue is finding the wines. It would be great to see Borgo del Tiglio gain more traction in the US. Simply put, I was blown away by what I tasted this year.Importer: Volio Distributors, Denver, CO; tel. (720) 284-7301
