Crucella 2023 MAGNUM Grape|Negretto

Crucella 2023 MAGNUM Grape|NegrettoMagnum bottling. A balance of old school rusticity with a dose of juicy, supple cherry fruit and gently lifted aromas of rose. It's a wine with no shortage of charm and is a world away from the more heavily tannic reds associated with this part of Italy. The perfume comes from the highly fragrant Camaiola grape, that on its own makes the vibrant Baciami Ancora. The rest is an even split of Sangiovese & Merlot. Reflecting the challenges of a cooler,

aromatically this jumps out of the glass with all things grapefruit

As with all of Lucas’ wines

vivid acidity and a nice touch of roundness and spice from time in old barrel

anise character of the Viognier

it nevertheless radiates power and density

with gentle extractions that reveal just enough detail and nuance from the grapes without over extraction

This spent one day on skins

lots of dark fruits that are underpinned with a savoury

making this an ideal bottle to reach for on cool autumn and winter nights

but other notes like ripe pear and spicy ginger starting to show too

we do not offer customisable boxes with our natural wine subscription offering

Ardéchoise expression of Grenache that we'd happily drink day after day
