Although this wine opens with a lively ruby color, it segues into tired, somewhat lifeless aromas of resin, tar, cherry liquor, earth and deep toasted notes. The wine seems to be very influenced by the wood it aged in.

Opens with deep cola, menthol, cinnamon and chocolate in addition to tobacco and black fruit. Fairly sweet in the mouth, and maybe a touch too syrupy for those who prefer a drier version. Undoubtedly ripe and chocolaty, with a bit of caramel corn on the finish.

Here’s a thin and easy-going Ripasso that starts with bright fruit aromas of cherry, blueberry and dried raspberry. There are hints of sourness, but also sweetness, and the mouthfeel is compact and bright overall.

This expressive Amarone is characterized by a distinct mineral tone of slate roof or lead pencil that really sets it apart. Beyond those drying graphite tones are layers of berry fruit, mesquite, cherry cola, spice and even a milky feel. It’s a smooth, soft and velvety wine that would pair with stewed lamb or beef.
