“Smokey and ashy in the glass, the 2022 Contrada Guardiola opens with a burst of ash and stones and grilled herbs, evolving into crushed black cherries and lifted by hints of menthol. It sweeps across the palate with textures of pure silk as a polished wave of red and black fruits swirls around a core of lively acidity. Its structure comes through on the finish as a staining of primery concentration adds a firm grip. Saline minerals linger under a air of inner florals. The 2022 was the result of two seperate harvests that were about 20 days apart due to rain. This is a wine that contrasts stunning depth with an energetic feel.”
