Opens with cinnamon-accented red cherry and dark fruit on the nose with ripe, lightly sweet, bitter black-cherry flavour supported by moderately dry tannins and well-balanced acidity. A solid, well-made Chianti in the generous style of the 2015 vintage.
I was blown away after tasting this biodynamic producer’s portfolio at the 2017 Italian Wine Show in Toronto. Plum, cherry, humus, spice and herbs are built on a concentrated frame. Excellent length, and perfectly suited to a porterhouse steak!
Perfumed with aromas of violets, plum and spice. Full-flavoured with a silky texture, juicy core and a long, mineral finish. A delicious, approachable Aglianico that provides great character and value.
This wine, the original Ripasso, celebrates its 50th birthday with this vintage. Ripe with plum, raspberry, cherry, violets, tobacco, cocoa, herbs and spice. Fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins round out the package. Ready to drink. Try with a sausage ragu!
This red always delivers the goods at a fair price! A blend of 50% Cab Sauv, 30% Merlot, 10% Cab Franc and 10% Sangiovese serves up cassis, raspberry, dark cherry, mint, vanilla and spice. Drink now or cellar for another 5 years — the choice is yours.
Made from a local grape called Trebbiano di Lugana, which is related to the Verdicchio family. Bright straw in colour with a minerally, green-melon nose. Medium-bodied, dry and well-balanced, with ripe melon and lemon flavours.
Shows good depth of flavour with medium weight and smoothly rounded, well-integrated cherry fruit accented by a splash of dark chocolate, finishing with moderate tannic grip.
