Bright raspberry, violets and a Bordeaux quality on the nose makes this a wine you will want to linger over. Thankfully, the elegant character continues on the palate with toasty cherries and raspberries that are very well balanced and integrated. An exceptional wine with an exquisitely long, supple finish. Cellar Selection.

This 60-30-10 Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Aglianico blend from southern Italy delivers beautiful purity and intensity. Aromas here include blackberry, tobacco, leather, rum cake and polished black stone. It tastes firm and full on the palate and could use a few more years of cellar aging.

Montevetrano is an impressive blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), Merlot and Aglianico that shows the enormous potential of red wines from southern Italy. It will age 10 years or more, and it already shows deeply sophisticated flavors of tobacco, dry fruit and spice.

This 60-30-10 Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Aglianico blend is a real treat from southern Italy with interesting complexity and flushed out tones of small berry fruit, exotic spice, vanilla, espresso and leather. The Cabernet aromas shine brightest. It’s modern, vibrant and a fine example of successful winemaking.
