Dusty, floral and perfumed, the 2022 Carmignano Il Sasso lifts from the glass with a lovely blend of rose petals, incense, lavender pastille and dried currants. The longer it sits in the glass, the more aromatic complexity it gains. It's silky smooth and elegant in style with a slight peppery tinge that adds depth as ripe wild berry fruits slowly saturate throughout. This finishes with tremendous depth and length, punching well above its class as fine-grained tannins add a lovely framework and hints of licorice resonate.
A lot of spices, dried herbs and hints of cigar box and cedar on the nose, with a deep dark-fruited character. Medium- to full-bodied with ripe, velvety tannins and broad, succulent fruit. Dry and textured at the end, with hints of tobacco and crushed stones. Drink or hold.
