"As of 2021, Monica Raspi has 'upgraded' her Riserva to a Gran Selezione. It hails from the same single plot but now goes by the name L'Omino, which means little man and refers to the stone effigy overlooking the vineyard that resembles a human figure. Shy to open, the nose unfolds with subtle yet exotic scents of rooibos tea, mace and redcurrant. Still tight and tense, the palate frames tangy red berries with faint wood notes. Resolute tannins are on the right side of extraction, the acidity is sappy, and the lime leaf finish is long and cleansing. Tuck this away for a couple of years."

"A restrained nose of lush red and black cherries, violets, eucalyptus and earth with bergamot nuances. Full-bodied, it shows density, velvety tannins, crisp acidity and a long, savory finish. An ambitious wine with potential for the long haul. Drinkable now, but best from 2026."

"Deep lustrous ruby. Deep yet subdued and with a firm mineral character. Complex cherry notes with a hint of morocco leather. Concentrated yet austere on the palate and really embryonic. Sour-cherry fruit, acidity and plentiful finely ground tannins tightly sewn together. Hugely promising but not ready yet. (WS)"
