The 2011 Quota 1000 Contrada Barbabecchi is a delicious red wine that is packed tight with smoky, volcanic nuances. This wine really hits it out of the ballpark in terms of intensity and sheer energy. The bouquet is fluid and vibrant with small berry tones, resin, tar, grilled herb and toasted almond. Like all of Graci's wines, this expression delivers both power and elegance in equal measure. It needs two or three more years to flesh out further.
