Anthony Nappa 2013 Piccolo Pio Petit Verdot (North Fork of Long Island)

Country: US / New York
Variety: Petit Verdot
Winery: Anthony Nappa / Piccolo Pio

A swathe of violet and jolt of pomegranate acidity lend freshness to this voluptuously ripe, rich Petit Verdot. It’s an unabashedly forward, full bodied wine chock full of fleshy, plump black-cherry and plum flavors. Despite its brawn, however, it’s not at all overbearing, finishing with remarkable balance.
