"This is aromatic with notes of red cherries, raspberries, pine nuts, dried flowers and some flinty minerality to it. Medium body. It has a fresh and crunchy palate with finely polished tannins. Balanced and focused with so much finesse and length. Drink or hold."

"The 2021 Bin Otto hails from a small, triangle-shaped plot planted in 1964 in Tupungato, Uco Valley. A blend of Sangiovese with 7% Merlot and 3% Syrah, it was aged in French oak barrels, half new. A dark garnet-red in hue. The balsamic nose features sour cherry, dried flowers, distinctive balsamic vinegar and volatile compounds. Creamy and refreshing due to its tart acidity, the combination of oak and grape tannins creates a taut, plush texture. The 2021 ends with a lasting, fruity finish."
