This is a meaty and mature Negroamaro with ripe notes of black olive, earth and leather. It has raw, gritty tannins and chewy succulence with some bitter cherry on the close.

A 70-30 blend of Negroamaro grape and hearty Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a highly successful rendition with succulent concentration, a pretty purplish hue and a nice balance between ripe fruit and tar-like aromas. You’ll detect blackberry, leather, spice, licorice and asphalt. A characteristic Cabernet Sauvignon note of bell pepper appears as well.

Starts out reticent, with hard spice and bramble aromas overriding the fruit. Finds its way later on, as raspberry, strawberry and rhubarb flavors make for a zesty palate. Finishes warm and tannic, with strong front-line flavors trumping a mild note of green.

Here’s a wine that faithfully reflects the personality of its origin: Prune, black fruit, plump cherry, leather, coffee, Mediterranean herb and exotic spice are all components of an intense and intriguing nose. In the mouth, this wine offers sweet berry flavors, spice and dusty tannins.

You’d expect this southern Italian wine to be on the extraripe side, but instead it offers a nice balance of green notes including herbs, eucalyptus, licorice, carob, vanilla and delicate forest berry. It’s an easy drink with noticeable but not overpowering tannins and medium consistency.

This is a pretty Malvasia with drying tones of pear, hay and honeysuckle layered over the wine’s smooth, clean texture. It is a very food-friendly wine that would pair with first courses or appetizers.

From the beautiful Salento region comes this warm-climate, slightly aged blend of Chardonnay and Malvasia Bianca. The color is rich and saturated and so are the aromas of mature apricot, passion fruit and almond. It’s a big, chewy wine with loads of intensity.

This Primitivo has good linearity and well-defined aromas of black fruit and spice. The wine is ripe and succulent, but it is also precise: pair it with grilled meats or pasta with meat ragu.

This Chardonnay does a really nice job of expressing the natural creaminess of the variety and the mature fruit and peach notes associated with the sun-drenched territory that shaped it. The wine is smooth, creamy and dense in the mouth.

Shows mature aromas of cherry and balsam wood, with men’s cologne wafting in the background. Tastes a bit sweet, yet it’s lively; the strawberry and blueberry flavors stop short of syrupy. Not a refined wine but it’s full, clean and tasty. Great for casual drinking.
