* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Here’s a Cabernet-based wine from the Piave area of northern Italy that opens with contrasting aromas of sour cherry against spicy smoked ham. That sweet and sour juxtaposition continues to the mouth where the wine exhibits a smooth close.

Fastened with a tiny grapevine clipping on the neck of the bottle, this easygoing Merlot from northern Italy offers simple aromas of cherry, wild berry and moderate spice. The wine would make a great pairing partner to pasta with veal ragù.

A pure expression of the Raboso grape (a native variety of northern Italy), Rabià is a dark wine with meaty, thick aromas of mature blackberry and sour cherry. The wine delivers soft tannins, good density and a touch of bitter fruit on the close.

Here’s an inky dark and impenetrable blend of Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc, Merlot and Marzemino. This is a seriously dense and rich expression with loads of mature fruit and spice that make for a layered and complex whole. The wine also shows tight, firm tannins.

This inky black blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot delivers a thick, impenetrable appearance with jammy notes of blackberry preserves and maraschino cherry. It presents chewy, succulent fruit but is not overdone or too heavy on the close.
