Winery - Grotta del Sole
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is a unique wine that opens with aromas of caramel and butterscotch but it also offers mature apricot, melon and candied fruit. The mouthfeel is short and compact but the acidity and bitter almond flavors do keep it lively.

Coda di Volpe offers resiny aromas of pine syrup and butterscotch backed by ripe melon and pear. The wine is thick and sticky and would probably pair best with fish soup or crab cakes.

Nutty spice and black forest berry make up the generous nose of this Piedirosso from the Campi Flegrei (one of the most spectacularly volcanic spots in Europe). You’ll also get notes of plush raspberry and blueberry followed by a drying mouthfeel and more mature berry notes on the close.

Fiano di Avellino almost always boasts luscious creamy ripeness, and this expression is no exception. Aromas include pear, passion fruit and citrus and the wine is full and crisp in the mouth.

Black pepper and exotic spice appear at first and set the framework for this deep and penetrating Aglianico. The wine is not exaggeratedly thick or dense. In fact, it makes an elegant and delicately nuanced entry onto the palate.

This sparkling wine opens with a bright golden color and slightly oxidized aromas of almonds, smoke, mature peach and candied fruit. There’s smoky sophistication in there as well with a slightly sweet finish and herbal notes on the close.

Lettere is a lightly frizzante (or sparking) wine from the Sorrentine Peninsula with wild berry aromas, black mineral and natural rubber. The wine is foamy and creamy in the mouth with loads of chewy berry flavors.

This is an easygoing Piedirosso from Campania with delicate aromas of exotic spice, cured meat, pine and blackberry jelly. The wine is simple and very thin and there’s little in the way of structure or persistency but it would work well with pizza or sandwiches.

This is a lightly sparking red from beautiful Sorrento in Southern Italy with sweet flavors of mature black fruit and spice. It’s easygoing with low alcohol, which means you can throw back a few glasses with pizza without a second thought.
