Simple but hefty aromas of banana and lemon precede a clean but underwhelming palate of papaya and tangerine. Fairly reserved and lean, with proper acidity and a full finish. A good entry into the variety.

Simple red fruit from the berry and plum family defines the nose, which is a bit herbal as well. Black plum and raspberry flavors are tight, lean and juicy due to lively acidity. Turns a little green in the midpalate as the fruit thins. Good for everyday drinking.

Light in approach and consistency, this is a fresh, easygoing white wine from central Italy that can be consumed at informal occasions such as with appetizers or at an outdoor barbecue. The aromas recall lime, green melon and sweet basil.

Here’s an elaborate and sophisticated Verdicchio Riserva from central Italy that sees ten months of oak aging for softness in the mouth and intensity of aromas. The wine delivers warm tones of melon and peach backed by vanilla, toasted bread and butterscotch. It would make an excellent companion to pheasant or game hen.

Luminous and fragrant, this is a simple dessert wine made from Verdicchio on Italy’s Adriatic coast that delivers apricot, honey, almond paste and touch of dried herb. It has a fresh and tonic feel and adequate density and persistency.

Kòmaros is a mineral-driven rosé with pretty layers of small red fruit, boysenberry and pink rose. The wine has clean acidity and sweet berry flavors, making it an ideal companion to rice cakes and salmon or fried cheese sticks.

Here’s a very aromatic dessert wine (made from dried grapes) from the Marche region of central Italy with soapy aromas of scented candle and florists’ shop. It has very rich and extremely fragrant flavors that last a long time.

Rich and stately, with superior aromas of honey, almond, peach and pear. The palate is nicely developed; it’s simultaneously soft and extracted as well as defined and structured. The spicy finish blends pepper with cinnamon. A great match for fish.
