The 2022 Casamatta is a fruit-forward and jovial wine, with a burst of black cherries and strawberries up front giving way to a cascade of baking spice and licorice. It’s soft and round with juicy acidity and crisp wild berry fruits. Violet inner florals resonate over a coating of subtle grippy tannins as this tapers off with medium length and a steely mineral sensation.
