This “Super Venetian” Corvina/Rondinella blend, with a splash of Sangiovese, ferments 70% of the grapes directly while 30% are dried before refermentation with the wine later, resulting in a soft, ripe, well-balanced style. Raisined aromas but with rich fruit flavour. A remarkably versatile sipper.
Deep ruby-purple colour with an earthy, cedary, black-cherry nose; dry, spicy flavours of tobacco and black cherry; full-bodied, with firm tannins which are a touch green. Needs time.
Red cherry and dark plum scents gain added depth on the nose from concentrated Ripasso-method partially dried grapes. Classic bitter cherry flavours show good depth, with lightly firm tannins and brisk, food-friendly acidity.
Traditional Appassimento method, using partially dried grapes, adds depth and complexity to this deeply scented fleshy ripe wine. It offers generous red fruit with spicy, green herbal, bitter cherry and plum flavours accented with a touch of clove and a trace of cinnamon. Well structured and harmoniously integrated.
This 100% Montepulciano can best be described as “strong but gentle.” Rustic and oaky, yet well balanced by the violet and black cherry aromas, fruity flavours, dry tannins and velvety finish. Induced a craving for Montreal smoked meat. Good value.
Deep ruby colour with a nose of tobacco, cedar, pencil lead; full-bodied, well-extracted sweet black fruit flavours with a lovely mouthfeel. Needs time for the tannins to mellow but is eminently drinkable now.
An elegant blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Canaiolo, with persistent nuances of floral, fruit and wood spice throughout. The judicious balance of fresh acidity and fleshy tannins make for a food-friendly, medium-bodied red. A solid choice for Italian dishes.
