Medium-bodied ruby color with garnet inclusions. Aroma of cherries and prunes with hints of tobacco and licorice. Full-bodied on the palate, balanced and of velvety tannins and juicy freshness. As with all Polvanera wines, the name is representative of the alcohol content. - Gerardo [TS10/22]

"Bright ruby red with slightly lightening rim. Dark berry nose of ripe blackberries and blueberries, light floral and vegetal touch in the aftertaste. Fresh and juicy on the palate, well balanced, grippy tannin, juicy finish." - Falstaff

Deep, ruby color with garnet inclusions. Aroma of mulberries and black cherries, with shades of herbs, licorice and graphite in the background. Fresh and juicy on the palate, of fine-grained tannin. The long finish resembles a wonderful echo. - Gerardo [TS10/21]

"Delicious its olfactory impressions of fresh herbs, citrus and red fruits, followed by a sparkling clean palate that proclaims its enveloping, savory freshness with captivating length." - Gambero Rosso

"Sparkling, rich ruby, bright and intense. Slightly mineral notes at first, but then lots of dark fruit, blueberry and dark cherry, but without overripeness. Has a lot of sweet melt in the attack and course, dense, pithy tannin, juicy, builds in many layers, after pickled raspberries and blackberries, at the same time also fresh." - Falstaff

The never-ending finish enraptures. - Gerardo [TS10/18]

"By a minimal margin, 17 follows in second place as a rich and full-bodied drop with a complex nature and beguiling spice that is accompanied by unmistakable allusions to Mediterranean macchia and plums." - Gambero Rosso

"Rich ruby with a slight garnet sheen. Very rich fruit nose, surprisingly fresh and clear, of raspberry, dark cherries, some anchovy in the background. The wine presents itself round and balanced on the palate, present, fine-grained tannin, very much present fruit, juicy and fresh - and that despite 17°!" - Falstaff
