A supple red, seamlessly layering sculpted tannins with a lovely range of baked black raspberry, woodsy spice, Earl Grey tea leaf and loamy earth flavors. Long and mouthwatering, echoing the detailed flavor range on the finish. Drink now through 2033. 229 cases made, 100 cases imported.

From the Contrada Porcaria (a 1.5-hectare plot at 650 meters in elevation), the 2018 Contrada P shows more intensity and maybe a small degree more concentration and fruit weight compared to some of the other Nerello Mascalese bottles in this contrada-specific series from Andrea Franchetti. This wine sports slightly broader shoulders with tart cherry, dried currant and bitter almond. I also taste the delineation of the wine's tannic structure with more clarity in this release of 2,750 bottles from Porcaria.
