Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
SerraMonte is a blockbuster expression from Southern Italy with inky, dark concentration and beautifully intense aromas of black fruit, cherry liqueur, dried prunes and Indian spice. The wine is pulsing with sweet fruit flavors and boasts thick, muscular density and high, but well integrated, alcohol.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This expression of Magliocco and Gaglioppo (two native grapes of Calabria) is less opulent and rich than SerraMonte but shows more elegance and harmony overall. You still get mature fruit aromas of raisins and prunes but the mouthfeel is bright, thick and delicious. From Giampaolo Venica and his Calabrian venure, Balbia is an ancient name given to this part of the world by the Romans.
