This is a very beautiful wine with aromatic intensity and fresh, crisp acidity. The wine is satisfying on all levels: It drinks easily and would pair with fish, crustaceans or vegetables. Very promising.

Ambruco is a softly layered and rich wine that imparts opulent aromas of chocolate, sweet spice, dark fruit, plum, prune and licorice. There’s a touch of bitterness in the mouth but otherwise the mouthfeel is thick and dense enough to smooth out any wrinkles.

This inky, thick and well- extracted wine (made from Casavecchia grapes) offers very pretty aromas of dark chocolate, prune, exotic spice and black jammy fruit. The tannins are soft and polished and the wine performs even better after a few minutes in the glass.

This inky blend of Pallagrello Nero and Casavecchia (two of Italy’s oldest grape varieties) opens with opulent aromas of chocolate, exotic spice, dark fruit, cola and cinnamon. It is smooth and rich on the palate but the wine also imparts a high dose of sweetness and succulence that would work well next to rare beef.

There’s berry and rhubarb-like aromas and dried cherry flavors that have hints of tobacco, vanilla and leather. All of this sounds good, but the elements seemed to disappear too quickly in the glass. After only a few moments the wine seemed a pale shadow of the initial elements, and finished dry and a bit hollow.

This expression shows a golden color with a slight amber hue followed by aromas of stone fruit, honeydew and white flower. There’s good density and texture in the mouth followed by piquant spice. It’s more structured and sophisticated than you’d expect.

Terre del Principe tends to produce very extracted and thickly concentrated wines. Castello delle Femmine, on the other hand, exhibits a lighter more delicate style with aromas of dark fruit, spice, plum and cola. The power is there, only it’s packaged in a silk lining.

Executed in a big, elaborate style, this wine won’t appeal to everyone. It takes on an almost intellectual approach, seeking to push the outer limits of the precious Pallagrello grape though oak fermentation and extended bottle aging. If you are seeking a carefree, fish-friendly wine, this is not for you. White meat or pasta would be a better choice.

Quite flowery on the nose, almost to the point of smelling like a tree grove in bloom. But beyond that there’s little stuffing to this wine. It’s got some lime and tangerine at its edges, but not too much at the core. A decent quaff; nothing faulty or off.
