An impenetrable, dark ruby red. The bouquet is enveloping, with sweet and ripe – not cooked – fruity notes, along with balsamic and floral nuances of violets, which fade into hints of tobacco on final. The palate displays great structure and distinct character. The balance between the soft tannins – which are perfectly integrated with the alcohol – and the long finish is also impressive. Radiant and powerful. SUPERIORE.DE

"A bright, intense ruby colour with purple hues. A fragrant nose with hints of sweet precious wood, dark chocolate, sweet spices and cranberries; complex. Powerful on the palate, with noticeable oak influence; it displays creamy, polished tannins and dark berry aromas; the finish is currently still somewhat austere due to the prominence of the oak." Falstaff

"The Mille e Una Notte 2021 is dark and brooding, with a beguiling bouquet of dusty sage and cedar shavings, enhanced by hints of menthol and cocoa before giving way to blackcurrants. Spicy at its core, it offers a velvety texture lifted by lively acidity, whilst a wealth of red fruits saturates the senses. The 2021 grips the palate with youthful vigour and finishes with a wall of tannins, beautifully contrasted by a hint of citrus and liquorice. This powerful interpretation of Mille e Una Notte will require a great deal of patience." Vinous
