Winery - Monte del Frá
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
One of the most attractive aspects of this fresh white blend is its structure: The wine is silky and smooth and seemingly weightless at the same time. That kind of structure is a good platform for flavors of pear, exotic fruit, honey and almond. Try it with grilled shrimp in a cilantro pesto sauce.

There’s a distinct note of eucalyptus or dried herb here followed by root beer, red berry fruit, bramble, leather and moist tobacco. The wine is bright and thick on the palate thanks to a twofold delivery of freshness and natural concentration.

This is a powerful but not exaggerated style of Amarone that delivers ripe cherry and blackberry aromas followed by new leather, cigar box, spice and rum cake. It imparts a very smooth, rich and supple feel.

There are some ripe notes here that recall candied fruit and raisin, but the wine also offers cheerful notes of cherry and wild spice. The mouthfeel is soft and supple but you definitely taste that ripe fruit at the end.
