The 2015 'Collina' from Dalla Valle is a wonderful showing in this vintage. Composed of a blend of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon this begins beautifully perfumed aromatics of blackberries and dark cherries woven together with spices, florals, espresso, dried mint and earthy minerals all taking shape. On the palate this displays a lovely textural richness as it continues to impress until the very end with its excellent balance, structure and wonderful length. While the Collina is already quite appealing and will offer an early drinking window, it also will hold up nicely in the cellar for at least a decade.
