Description
A cooler, more precise Paleo than the 2018 — fresher, with more floral lift and a crunchy, mineral-edged profile that makes it approachable earlier. Wild herbs, cherry, graphite and a structured but fine-grained palate with a long finish. Italy’s benchmark Cabernet Franc in a vintage that shows its more elegant side.
97 points, Vinous – “The 2020 Paleo Rosso is classy, elegant and wonderfully polished. Crushed flowers, spice and blood orange lend brightness. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure, Paleo Rosso offers tons of depth. Historically it has aged quite well. I expect that will be the case here also, as the 2020 exudes balance from start to finish. The 2020 spent 18 months in 100% French oak, with 5% of the wine aged in amphora.”
