Other Reviews……
Piero Lanza managed to come out relatively unscathed by peronospora attacks in 2023. A perennial over-achiever, even in this challenging vintage, the annata exhibits exceptional complexity for this level without sacrificing brightness or drinkability. Pristine and vivacious, it launches with dark cherry, tea leaf, lavender and violet scents. The palate follows with gumption; juicy, fleshy fruit is underscored by Radda’s crisp acidity and rocky minerals. Sweet tannins are decidedly chalky in texture. It closes with a liquorice twist. Drink 2025-2032.
