Occasional Wine Note: This is a BIG wine! HEAVY clove and dark fruit aromas with a bit of residual sugar. This type of Amarones is not for everyone, but if you like big juicy red wines that are a tad sweet and want to try an Amarone, this is an excellent specimen.

A vibrant, harmonious red, offering a rich panoply of blackberry confit, dried raspberry, iron, smoke and aromatic overtones of fresh thyme, violet and clove. Tightly meshed yet still expressive, with sculpted, deftly knit tannins providing pleasing tension. Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella. Drink now through 2035.

This is a powerful and brooding wine. Blackberry, blueberry, purple flowers and sweet baking spices meld seamlessly together on the nose. The power of the wine is immediate and impressive, with firm tannins demanding your patience. The wine gifts you sweet tobacco, dried herbs and spiced plums on the finish, just enticing you to see what happens next.
