There’s a ripe, brambly note here that recalls forest floor, ripe berry and chocolate chip cookie. The wine finishes with rich, smooth fruit flavors mixed in with a touch of exotic spice.

Don Bosco offers gritty aromas of crushed stone, leather and spice, followed by blackberry and cherry liqueur. There are touches of smoke, cola and barbecue sauce; and it finishes slightly short.

There’s a raw, woody element to this Montepulciano d’Abruzzo that recalls forest floor and exotic spice. In fact, other than currant and dried berry, there’s not much fruit left behind. The wine closes with sour, firm tannins. Drink now.

This golden Chardonnay from central Italy offers mature apricot, butterscotch and honey aromas backed by a thick, creamy mouthfeel. There’s a nice touch of dried sage on the close as well.
