This is a very pretty blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet with well-defined notes of black cherry, leather, tobacco, chocolate, bramble and maple syrup. Recognizable oak renderings establish a refined and sophisticated feel and offer background notes of toasted nut and spice. The wine delivers fresh berry flavors, tight tannins and cool freshness on the finish. Drink…

Mammolo is 100% Merlot bursting with red-fruit intensity and deep, penetrating layers of mature cherry and exotic spice. The wine is chewy and rich, and offers a long, fruit-driven finish.

You’ll appreciate the streamlined and compact character of this Cab-Merlot blend that ultimately helps establish its harmony and balance. In terms of aromas, it offers bright cherry fruit, forest berry, blueberry, spice and lightly toasted coffee bean. The oak element becomes more obvious in the mouth where the wine also showcases silky tannins and chewy fruit.

Aromas of cherries, herbs, leather and dried tomatoes on the nose open to a mouthful of cherry fruit accented by licorice and coffee notes. The texture is smooth, even and dry. The full but ripe tannins on the finish have just the right amount of bite.

Aromas of sour plum, chocolate and wood give way to a mouthful of licorice-accented sour cherry fruit accented by cedar and caramel. Has good acidity and decent length, but the tannins on the back end are somewhat drying.

Tart berries, a touch of maple syrup and some orange peel on the nose open into a dry black-cherry palate and lean mouthfeel. Sharply austere.
