Peter Dipoli's Iugum 2016 hails from the Fontanefredde vineyards in South Tyrol, a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon cultivated on steep, poor soils, characterized by ideal exposures and significant temperature fluctuations. It is a red wine that rigorously and precisely interprets the Bordeaux style, while maintaining the authenticity and alpine freshness of the territory.
In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color, with subtle garnet reflections.
On the nose, it reveals a complex and deep bouquet, with notes of blackberry, plum, and blackcurrant intertwined with elegant hints of pepper, cocoa, tobacco, and a balsamic touch that amplifies its finesse.
On the palate, it is structured and harmonious, with dense but well-polished tannins that support a warm and enveloping sip. The typical mountain freshness provides balance and longevity, while the finish is long, persistent, and refined, with fruity and spicy returns.
A great mountain red, elegant and powerful at the same time, ideal with important meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses, also perfect as a meditation wine to grasp its depth and ability to evolve over time.
