Description
1983 Castelrosso – Bartocci Bombini (Italy)
A fully mature, old-school Italian red that favours perfume and savoury finesse over power. Brick-garnet with a broad tawny rim, it opens on dried cherry and cranberry, rose petal, cedar and sweet tobacco, with hints of orange peel, tea leaf and a gentle balsamic/underbrush note. Mid-weight and silken on the palate: lively, old-world acidity carries red-cherry fruit, dried herbs and subtle leather; tannins are fine and resolved. The finish is long and tapering with cherry skin, cedar spice and dried flowers.
Producer note: Bottled by Bartocci Bombini in a traditional style, “Castelrosso” presents the classic, food-table profile of mature Italian reds—aromatic lift, savoury poise and graceful tertiary complexity.
Serve: 16–18 °C. Stand upright 12–24 hours; very gentle decant for sediment just before pouring.
Food pairing: Roast chicken with herbs, pappardelle al ragù, porcini risotto, aged pecorino.
