Guado dè Gemoli is a 80-20 blend of Cab Sauvignon and Merlot that is enhanced by elegant mineral and slate aromas backed by wild berry, cherry, leather, licorice and cherry cola. There’s plenty of sweet, chewy fruit in the mouth to give the wine staying power. The close is both succulent and smooth.

This 80-20 Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend delivers enticing aromas of blackberry, mature cherry, plum, prune, exotic spice, chocolate and cedar shavings. It has rigid tannins and a nervous temperament—open in the next few years.

This is a 100% expression of Cabernet, with ripe, jammy fruit and lingering tones of spice, leather, rum cake, strawberry rollup and blackberry pie. The wine is round and ripe but it also adopts an elegant, direct style that is enhanced by a nice touch of acidity on the close.

Shaped by 15 months in oak barrique, this pure expression of Cabernet Franc is beautifully integrated with impressively intense aromas of black fruit and spice. You’ll also recognize mineral, root beer or herb and the wine ends with a blast of black, jammy berry fruit.

You can identify the Cabernet Sauvignon element here (25%, with the rest of the wine comprised of Sangiovese and Merlot) thanks to aromas of blackberry, spice and chopped herbs. The wine is beautifully ripe and plush (absent are any astringent or green notes), and the wine is firm and powerful to the end.
