Pietradolce Bianco 2015
Straw yellow. Stony, bread-crust nose with cut lime. Waxy lemon and peach palate. Very unusual and hugely compelling. Drink 2016-2020. 17
Pietradolce Archineri Bianco 2015
Intense, complex citrus-fruit nose. Intense and long and finely textured. Moreish. Drink 2016-2020. 17
Pietradolce Rosso 2015
(Tasted from cask). Pale ruby. Lifted, lively raspberry nose and succulent raspberry fruit on the palate with fine sandy tannins. Closes up quickly. Linear finish for the moment. Wonderful lightness of touch, but not ready yet. Drink 2017-2027. 17
Pietradolce Rosso Rampante 2014
A vineyard of less than 1 ha of 80-year-old vines bought from an elderly farmer. First vintage. Very tight nose, chock-full of minerals. The apotheosis of Archineri, with similar linear acidity, but the palate is more filled out with raspberry fruit and grainy tannins. Great length and balance, but far from ready. Drink 2018-2030. 17+
