This Margheria from Pira is elegant and restrained, showing leafy lightness with red currant and confected violet aromas. After a silky attack, it demonstrates delicacy on a warming palate, with ripe tannins and quite high, crisp acidity integrated into a tight-knit structure. The finish is more austere and dusty, too young now but intended for the long haul: the freshness of red currant fruits allied with the savouriness of the liquorice will help during bottle ageing. Very classic. 95 points. Decanter.
