The remarkably pretty 2019 Munjebel Rosso VA (Le Vigne Alte) blossoms in the glass with a vivid mix of crushed cherries complemented by fresh mint leaf and hints of camphor. This is a pure and finessed expression, seemingly weightless at times, with juicy acidity that excites the palate, as violet-laced red berries and hints of cinnamon give way to edgy tannins toward the close. That said, while a tug of youthful structure resides, the expression remains remarkably fresh, with an almost-black tea-like coating of residual tension that lingers under purpleand blue-toned inner florals. Le Vigne Alte is a blend of Cornelissen’s highestelevation vines from the Tartaraci, Rampante Soprana and Barbabecchi vineyards. It’s the understated beauty of the lineup.
