Deep ruby in color. The nose has dark cherries, some smoke, some leather and a bit of spice. Great silky but full texture. On the palate, dark and sour cherries with some forest floor. Shows a nice complexity. It opens beautifully in the glass. Great with food. Long finish. This wine has soul.
Made from the Teroldego grape, this is the basic wine from this wonderful producer. Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose has black cherries, lots of minerality and a touch of salinity. On the palate, there are firm tannins on this. Lots of black cherries and some cherries. An underlying minerality. This is drinking nicely now, but surely will improve as it integrates over the next five years. Nice acidity. This begs for food right now. Pasta in a cream sauce is a great choice.
This is a hearty red wine from northern Italy made with Teroldego grapes.
One of the very best of the relatively unknown wines of Italy. This is from the northeast corner and made from the Teroldego grape. Deep garnet in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is fantastic with black cherries, some cranberries, loads of minerality and wild thyme. Full bodied. Medium tannins. Great lively acidity. On the palate, this is young but delicious. Black cherry fruit with minerality and a bit of "wild herbs". Long finish. Nice on its own, but really better with food. It worked great with a nice plate of buttered pasta. Drink over the next ten to twenty years
This is made from the Teroldegao grape in northeastern Italy. The wine is purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose has black cherries, black raspberries, spice and slight anise. Full bodied. Medium tannins. Excellent acidity and balance. Lively. On the palate, this is deep, young and delicious. Flavors of black cherries, some black currants with spice and slight char. long finish. This will still mature a bit but no harm drinking it now. Drink over the next ten to twelve years. Great on its own, but better with food. This would work well with game dishes.
