Lamaione, even in cooler vintages like 2018, is able to express all its power and complexity. Its 2018 version has a very deep and impenetrable ruby red color. On the nose, the fruit is ripe plum and cherry. Then hints of cocoa, rhubarb, licorice and graphite take over. The finish is coffee alternating with the chocolate-mint combo. On the palate it is warm, its tannic texture thick and voluminous, not afraid of pairings even with particularly intense foods. Reminiscences of tobacco peep out in the gustatory finish to flank the firm cocoatimbre. The "iap," intense aromatic persistence, is very long.
