An aromatic, savory streak of tarry smoke and leather offers a subtle underpinning for the rich mesh of Amarena cherry, cured tobacco, licorice and warm spices on display in this harmonious red, with supple, well-knit tannins. Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinone. Drink now through 2030. 30,000 cases made, 7,000 cases imported.

An excellent Ripasso. A full-weighted wine that is polished by a slick veneer of winemaking. Licorice root, violet, clove, sassafras and dark cherry accents to the oak. The sweetness strays into kirsch territory, yet the tannic clamp ensures that it’s not excessive. This is a wine for those who like power and polish. Drink or hold.

Bright red fruit preserves lead the way on the nose, layered with roasted coffee notes and delicate shavings of chocolate. The palate shows refined tannins that glide across the tongue, while subtle tea leaf notes emerge on the finish, adding a gentle herbal complexity.
