Santomè is a pretty expression of Raboso (a native grape of northeast Italy) with mouth-coating tannins and bright aromas of black cherry, old leather, spice and clove. That firm structure suggests a pairing with succulent red meat.

Raboso Santomè shows firm tannins and dense structure with bright berry and cherry flavors. There are background aromas here of spice and smoke and the wine would definitely pair with red meet or aged cheese.

This wine shows firm tannins and rich opulence although the nose presents some chewy, or raw aromas behind its nose of ripe fruit and spice. That extra succulence and softness is probably due to the extreme heat of the 2003 vintage.

Pipe smoke and cigar box appear at the front of this ruby-colored wine. Those aromas are followed by dark cherry and blackberry nuances. This is a tight and dense expression of Cabernet Sauvignon with firm tannins and loads of power and determination on the close.

Steely effervescence, bright acidity and tonic crispness is followed by subtle tones of peach and white rose. This sparkler is clean and bone dry on the finish.

A blend of Merlot and Raboso (a native grape of Northern Italy), this compact wine offers tight aromas of blackberry, forest floor and a slight herbal hint at the back. It is supple and slightly sweet in the mouth, and although it doesn’t offer huge complexity, it is a very pleasant drink all-round.

An easy-going wine, with clean aromas of crushed mineral, Golden Delicious apple and stone fruit. Pair this with spicy Thai spring rolls.

This is a distinctive and unusual expression of Chardonnay with grassy notes and aromas that recall freshly picked spring flowers. There’s white mineral and exotic fruit and a touch of piquant spice on the close.
