“…And now we acclaim the two estate champion wines, both from vintage 2004: Calcarole is always more powerful, but perfectly balanced. Villa Rizzardi is still young in aromas, but in the mouth it’s light and all the contents assembled perfectly. This harmonic balance makes it win the three glasses.”
