The estate’s top wine, the 2001 Villa Fidelia Rosso, a Bordeaux blend in which, unlike the first versions, the Cabernet now tends to predominate, is simply superlative, with only the 1999 among the past vintages arriving close to its level. A deep, glowing ruby red, its superbly ripe nose of black currants and raspberries, graphite, tar, and licorice is supported by a dense, sensual, caressing palate, deep and velvety, outstanding in its definition, focus, and balance. A cunning wine, deceptively ready but with an important aging potential in its packed structure, it will provide immense pleasure between 2005 and 2020. DT

Fantastic aromas of crushed raspberries, currants and berries follow through to a full-bodied palate, with silky and refined tannins and a long finish. Seductive wine. Best wine ever from here. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. James Suckling
