Broad and mouthfilling

aromas are driven by red and citrus fruits with a subtle woodsy quality in the background

and it's crunchy

all supported by firm and even borderline rustic tannins that contrast considerably with the sleek mid-palate texture

Tasted blind at the 10-Year On Tasting in Sauternes

Dalla Valle, Collina other_regions_italy Broad and mouthfillingStarting with the 2015 Collina, which is an even split of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, this medium to full bodied effort has terrific purity and freshness (especially for a 2015) as well as pretty notes of currants, strawberries, flowers, and hints of graphite. Its medium to full bodied, pure, and silky on the palate, and should keep for over a decade.
