40% Semillon and 14% Sauvignon Gris

Balsamic and truffle notes pepper the palate of this handsome Barolo

with a spicy element providing lift

fruit-driven nose is followed by a broad

almost understated finish in context of the growing season

Vega Sicilia, Unico other_regions 40% Semillon and 14% SauvignonThe great eternal Unico, with a touch of extra fruitiness and spiciness. Made after very long ageing in different oak vats and barrels, from selected plots (including 6% Cabernet Sauvignon) within Vega Sicilias estate, in the (rightly named) Unico method (72 months oak). Probably too young now, it should ideally not be opened in the next 10 years. Spains flagship, and very difficult for me to taste without passion.
