While molinara is no longer mandatory in the blend, it is prized here for its capacity to impart freshness. This said, it detracts from colour and was not popular during the bold era of the 90's. Textbook freshness. Sour red mountain fruit doused with mint, bitter herb and anise. There is a crunchy sense of compression to the wine, too, thanks to the peppery tannins sewing up the seams. Delicious drinking. Drink now.
