Accordini 2006 Le Bessole Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $30
Here’s a subdued and elegant Amarone that whispers rather than screams. It shows dried fruit, leather and spice but without the revved-up intensity usually brought about by air-dried grapes and the appassimento school of winemaking.

Accordini 2004 Le Bessole Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- Online Exclusive
- $55
Le Bessole is a dark, brooding wine with dense concentration and meaty aromas of black cherry preserves, smoky oak, resin, tar, asphalt and buttered popcorn. It earns points for its tasty, chewy texture and big (but not exaggerated) modern style.

Accordini 2005 Le Viole Red (Recioto della Valpolicella Classico)
- $32
Thick and almost purple in color, this succulent Recioto has notes of black cherry, bramble, dried raspberry and spice. The wine has tart sweetness and solid structure and can stand up to chocolate fudge cake because of its cleaning tannins.

Accordini 2005 Ripassá Red (Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso)
- $18

Accordini 2007 Red (Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $12
A great value wine, this oak-aged Ripasso opens with lovely intensity and defined aromas of sweet chocolate, cola and cherry. The close is even more intriguing with a quirky twist of ginger, soy or mesquite smoke. This is a wine for those who prefer a big, bold style.

Accordini 2006 Le Bessole Red (Valpolicella Classico Superiore)
- $13
Le Bessole is a muscular expression of Valpolicella with beefy tones of exotic spice and mature fruit. It feels dense and powerful in the mouth, yet this is not a heavy or brooding wine. In fact, it would pair with a long list of meat-based dishes.

Accordini 2009 Le Bessole Red (Valpolicella Classico Superiore)
- Online Exclusive
- $9
This Valpolicella blend treads very much on the dark side with aromas of bitter chocolate, burnt carob and sour almond. It does see oak aging and ends with rusty, earthy tones on the close.
