Colledila' is a little higher altitude than their other sites, with classic Albarese soils, high in limestone. It makes the most finessed expression of their elegant Gran Selezioni, with a lean fruit profile driven by vibrant red fruits and savory, crushed limestone minerality. The finish is subtle but long, making this a wine that will gain in complexity over many years, becoming ethereal. For now, leave it in the decanter for an hour and serve it at 62-65F with meaty fish (swordfish, tuna, trout), spaghetti with a bright tomato sauce (lightly sauteed cherry tomatoes, basil, and good olive oil), or a burrata Caprese salad with ripe fresh tomatoes (with lemon or red wine vinegar, never balsamic).
WINE SPECTATOR 97 POINTS - "Packed with cherry, raspberry and pomegranate flavors, this red is also succulent and verging on racy in profile, with a deep vein of mineral and peppery spice notes that intensify on the extended finish. Shows superb balance and grace, with the best yet to come. 1,166 cases made, 700 cases imported."
