Granato is undoubtedly one of the great red wines of Italy, Europe, and the world. It's, by the way, not just us, who think so – even those who usually have nothing (positive) to say about natural wine agree:
James Suckling: 98 points
Decanter Wine magazine: 96 points
Wine Advocate: 93+ points
vinonudo: 12653++ points
The 2016 Granato is a so-called Late Release. This means that, due to the outstanding quality of the vintage, Foradori set aside a small portion of the finished wine to release it nearly a decade later.
