This is a massive, beautifully put together Bolgheri Superiore that opens with a complex bouquet of polished stone, dried fruit, prunes, plums, black- berry and new leather. The wine feels tight and compact with a fine, silky quality of tannin.

This 50-50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot opens with a powerful blast of church incense, dried roses, spice, scented candle, blackberry and mature black cherry. The tannins are firm and textured, so give this wine another three to five years of cellar aging.

Wow! This is a big wine with inky, black notes and almost exaggerated aromatic intensity. The blend is 70-30 Petit Verdot and Merlot and it’s almost as if the density and concentration of the first variety needed to be cut by the softness and gentleness of the second.

Blackberry, cherry, moist earth and vanilla notes emerge from the nose of this Cab Sauvignon-Merlot-Petit Verdot blend. Modern and solid, pair it with grilled meat or hearty stew.

This is an elegant and delicate expression of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that offers aromas of wild berries, Indian spice, root beer and bitter chocolate. The wine offers bright fruit flavors with lingering tones of blue violets and forest berries.

Arnione, a blend of Cabernet, Merlot and Petit Verdot, packs heat and intensity and is a beautifully integrated and generous wine. Thick extraction is accented by chocolate, cherry, leather, cigar, liquid vanilla and root beer. It’s tight in the mouth with bright fruit flavors. Drink after 2015.

Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot combine to produce a wine of depth and character. There’s complexity and balance thanks to lingering herbal tones and solid cherry-chocolate but at the end, the delicate herbal notes win out, imparting a sense of oregano and wild sage.

Here is a Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot blend that borrows on Bordeaux inspiration but delivers an all-Italian personality. Earthy smells are woven seamlessly with notes of forest berry, blackberry and cedar wood; there’s also an appealing hint of smoked bacon. The wine appears firm and solid in the mouth.
