Jean-Baptiste Arena Patrimonio Rouge Grotte di Sole 2020 (Case only) brand_Bodegas Ollauri white floralsAs the name implies, this vineyard is part of a large series of southerly exposed grottoes that capture the sun's rays fully throughout the day. The site has produced many of the Arena family's finest Nielluccius over the years. Jean Baptiste's 2020 effort is a serious wine of deep structure and intensity. Think classic, spirited Sangiovese with a wilder, slightly darker fruited, herb singed character from the ancient seaside maquis studded limestone.
