Torzi Matthews Vigna Cantina Negro Amaro 2010

“The tireless and ebullient Dominic Torzi, armed with Tracy Matthews, somehow makes what are the most determined and distinctive wines at impossible prices. (...). It’s vivid proof that you can get plum pudding and exmess cake aromas without overt alcohol, and with natural acidity that extends the peal of every bell in the village. It’s alarming in its liveliness and cheek: a pie of the brightest red, black and blue berries powdered with caster sugar and soused in kirsch or grappa. But while the steaming pastry is crumbly with nutmeg, the fruits don’t appear to have been cooked at all: they’re inside, fresh and cool. Somewhere between an enigma and a dilemma. Perfectly entertaining. Blackbirds fly out.”
Philip White, InDaily News, June 2011
Vintage
Great winter rains with the best falls in 5 years gave the site a great start with lovely balanced canopy to shade the intense small crop. A moderate summer with lovely cooling nights heading into harvest on March 13 presented pristine hand picked fruits.
Wine making
Made via a mixture of whole berry and 20% whole bunch wild yeast ferment in small open top fermenters, soft pump overs, basket pressed and bottled unfiltered.
Style
A truly charismatic red table wine with highly perfumed red summer fruits with real freshness both to the fruit and in the mouth feel, expect wonderfully spicy red fruits with complex bitter chocolate dipped apricots, black tea, cherries, plum, provincial herbs and fine-grained tannins to finish. A wine truly suited to richly red sauced dishes, cured meats and a must with pizza.
