The 2020 Umbria Rosso San Valentino takes a moment to blow off some smoky reduction, revealing black cherry, cedar shavings, clove, saddle leather and underbrush. This is lively and spry with soft textures and fleshy wild berry fruits energized by a core of vibrant acidity. There's no lack of depth, despite the 2020's verve, as fine tannins frame notes of tart raspberry through the long and lightly structured finale.
