A powerful, modern wine, this Cabernet Sauvignon from Umbria offers thick layers of red cherry, Asian spice, vanilla bean, toasted oak and cherry cola. There are hints of mature fruit yet the wine remains youthful and vibrant overall with balsam flavors and fresh fruit over a long, penetrating finish.

This Merlot from Umbria delivers notes of mature fruit, black plum, ripe cherry and toasted vanilla lavished over its entirety. It is a modern, plush wine with a velvety texture and a soft consistency that would pair well with pasta, risotto or meat dishes. The wine has a fun personality and vibrant tones of red fruit and spice on the finish.

Sangiovese (50%) is blended with equal parts Merlot and Cabernet to produce a simple red wine with thin berry fruit aromas, forest berry, floral nuances and some sharp points of bright acidity. Elegance and harmony are the objective and the wine reaches it nicely. It’s also an easy wine with good length that would pair easily with all Mediterranean foods.

This Sangiovese offers a pretty ruby color with thickly saturated color and segues into pretty aromas of spice, wood, red cherry and Asian spice. It has a wide, broad approach and very far-reaching intensity. But it also has many burnt wood nuances that boarder on being too heavy, especially considering the wine’s delicate core of red fruit. The mouthfeel is just as overdone with deep menthol and cola flavors and a long, spicy finish.

This is a Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Umbria with intense spice on the nose and a solid background chorus of red cherry fruit, chocolate, cinnamon, small berries and dried prunes. The wine really wins points in the mouth where it delivers gorgeous intensity and long lasting persistency with lingering notes of exotic spice. It’s firm and solid without being sharp.
