Score: 90Vintage 2016Vinous MediaThe 2016 Romeo Gotturnio Riserva is a dark and powerful blend of 65% Barbera and 35% Croatina. Black cherries, sage, exotic spices and underbrush blast up from the glass. Its brambly red and black fruits saturate the palate and are nicely contrasted by potent acidity as tannins firm up the expression toward the close. This leaves the senses aching with residual tension as wild herb tones and hints of salted licorice fade.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
