Elegance is the key word here. I Fondatori exhibits gorgeous and extremely precise aromas of dried fruit, exotic spice and drying minerals. The wine maintains a bright ruby color despite it many years of bottle aging and promises more exciting evolution in the years to come.

Good and rich, with bacon, lavender, leather and prune aromas. At all points this wine comes across well balanced, with ace-level tannins and just the right amount of acidity. Finishes long and leathery, with hints of chocolate and supple tannins. Features a splendid mix of finesse and power.

Big and bold, this has noticeable alcohol and loads of chocolate, espresso and jammy black-fruit flavors. The overall muscle and brawn of the mouthfeel give balance to the heat and intensity. Pair this with aged cheese or grilled steak.

Cola, licorice, ginger, hummus and dried raspberry appear on the bright bouquet of this Valpolicella blend. Those delicate aromatic nuances are firmly grounded by the wine’s massive intensity and density. Pair this beautiful wine with black truffle risotto.
