The amphora-aged compatriot to 'Sgarzon,' 'Morei' – which translates roughly as 'dark' in the local dialect – is in style as it is in moniker. A beguiling blend of black raspberries, exotic spice, leather straps, cocoa and crushed stones makes the 2022 impossible to ignore. This is juicy and fresh in style with lifted textures, crisp wild berry fruits and zesty acidity that keeps the energy remarkably high. Tactile mineral tones add a pleasant crunch as hints of white pepper and pomegranate linger over a bed of gently grippy tannins. This year has a more immediate feel than past vintages, yet its balance can not be denied; the purity alone is spellbinding.
