Ratings
It always delivers - just as expected, and just as good as before. Apricot jam, herbs, buckwheat honey, orange peel. It's vibrant, potent, and satisfying in that familiar way. I keep coming back to this vintage, and every time it confirms how much I like it. Bold but not tiring, with just enough detail to keep you engaged.
This wine presents a complex and generous bouquet, brimming with ripe peaches, apricot jam, honey, dried herbs, and orange peel. It's well-rounded with good acidity, offering a persistent and flavourful experience. Its inviting profile makes it easy to fall in love with.
About Producer
La Stoppa is a legendary historic estate that was founded in 19th century by a lawyer named Giancarlo Ageno. Initially focused on Bordeaux varieties, nowadays its vineyards are occupied by local Barbera, Bonarda and Malvasia. Elena Pantaleoni, current owner of the estate, works closely with famous enologist Giulio Armani (that has his own side project called Denavolo) to craft wines expressive of place and grape. They are advocates of minimal intervention along with usage of huge Slavonian oak botti and used French barriques. Also they are farming organically since 1990's and in 2008 they even acquired proper certification.
