The texture is very fine and the acidity seems like if it had a timer and shoots a second later than you expect it

There is excellent volume to the dense medium-bodied flavors as the old vines are in evidence

it’s a grand cru for this variety

Querciabella, Palafreno Size:6x750ml Moroccan spice and incense aromasA more saturated red purple color, the 2020 Palafreno is all Merlot and reveals a very pretty bouquet of violets, fresh plums, and black raspberries. It offers a lot of fresh lift on the palate, which is full bodied though not heavy, with sweet tannins and a nice poppy lift throughout, while retaining wonderfully balanced ripeness and very nice notes of fresh earth on the finish.
