This wine has a gritty, broad quality that recalls overripe cherries, plums and dried currant berries. There’s also a touch of milk chocolate or fudge and the wine ends on an astringent, bitter note.

This bold and richly extracted wine tastes and feels older than it really is. It exhibits austere aromas of pipe tobacco, black licorice and spicy redwood, backed by prunes and dried blackberries. There is some tartness and astringency on the finish, suggesting very ripe fruit.

Fattoria Scopone’s 2004 Riserva opens with charred aromas of campfire, liquid smoke and barbecue sauce. The fresh fruit notes tend to be on the ripe side: think mature cherry and strawberry. In the mouth, however, this well-crafted wine is smooth, silky and long lasting.

This is a thick and brawny Brunello that shows a lot more heft and personality than some of the weaker expression from the 2005 vintage. Fattoria Scopone presents a rich and textured wine with ripe notes of cherry liqueur and blackberry followed by firm, gritty tannins.

Apart from an obvious emphasis on oak-related aromas of vanilla, spice and carpentry shop, this is a satisfying Rosso that would pair with roast chicken, potatoes, garlic and rosemary. The garlic and rosemary would take the edge off those wood tones.

Here’s an easy Sangiovese-based wine (with a small percent of Petit Verdot for extra darkness and color) that would pair wonderfully with stay-home pizza or pasta. The wine offers bright berry nuances of cherry and raspberry and a touch of distant spice and smoke on the fade.

This is a syrupy, rich, meaty wine that opens with impressive intensity and extraction. It’s a bruiser and a pleaser that delivers aromas of cherry liqueur, blackberry jam and exotic spice. It’s also a masculine, opulent wine that could use a few more years of cellar aging.

Clean, well-made and inviting with toasted notes, vanilla, anise seed, milk chocolate and coffee bean. A wine with bold personality, finesse, a velvety mouthfeel and great potential at the dinner table. Imported by Siena LLC.
