Score 95/100 · Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Aug 2024

A northern Italian Merlot (with a 5% addition of Cabernet Franc), the Borgo del Tiglio 2018 Collio Rosso Riserva is a beautiful wine with a delicate approach and hushed intensity that reinforces a true sense of elegance that is especially rare for this grape. The bouquet is embroidered with redcurrant, tart cherry, blue flower and something exotic like caraway seeds or crushed flaxseed. This is an exceptional red wine with only 1,200 bottles created. It ages in barrique for two years.

A dusty bouquet of dried violets, cracked chalk, incense, tobacco and crushed blackberries wafts up from the 2018 Collio Rosso Riserva. This is racy with silky textures and cooling acidity, coming across as quite savory, with tart red and black fruits that slowly saturate. Sweet herbal tones last through the long and pleasantly bitter finale as hints of steeped plum resonate over a bed of sweet tannins. While considered a warm vintage, the 2018 is completely classic and harmonious. Due to the high quality of the vintage, Borgo del Tiglio decided to bottle both the Rosso Riserva and Rosso delle Centa.
