Complex nose with violet hints, floral aromas combined with wild blackberries and an elegant mineral finish. Long and fleshy wine in mouth. Which stands out for silkiness of its tannins. Contino Graciano is an elegant and balance wine, the result of a magnificent maturation of the variety in our vineyards San Rafael and an excellent aging work. There is contained power in the 2018 Graciano, which reveals a restrained 13.47% alcohol with very high acidity, close to seven grams, and a very low pH (3.22), which means lots of freshness and citrus acidity in the wine. It has a lactic touch on the nose that talks about its youth and the need for some more time in bottle. There is a touch of austerity on the palate, combining the abundant tannins and the high acidity that make it a bit harsh. There is a touch of iron and blood, and it's varietal and long. The wine is very powerful anyway and is going to welcome some time in bottle. Nobody said Graciano was easy. Black-cherry aromas with some spice and just a hint of jam, following through to a full body with lots of dense fruit, a slightly chewy tannin texture and a fruity finish. But it remains in check. Bitter citrus at the end of the palate. Try after 2022, when the tannins will have softened.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
