Aged three years in oak, this ruby red dessert wine (made with air-dried Marzemino grapes) would pair with fudge brownies with chopped walnuts inside. Soft and succulent, it follows through with dark fruit, leather, licorice and cherry liqueur. It doesn’t have the bitterness you sometimes get with sweet red wines.

A youthful expression of Marzemino, this deeply ruby-colored red wine offers a soft, plush texture with subtle notes of mesquite, licorice and mature fruit that linger on the finish. Sweet fruit is followed by a touch of sour cherry on the finish.

From the Montenetto di Brescia wine region of Lombardy, this easy expression of Marzemino presents a nicely saturated brick color and opens with ripe aromas of black fruit, cherry, plum, tobacco and exotic spice. This easygoing wine closes with a tight, bitter note.

A hot vintage translates into jammy fruit and berry preserves backed by rich toasted notes. Ripeness definitely overtakes elegance in this case, yet this juicy red would do well with aged cheese or red meat.
