Albino Armani 2004 Cuslanus Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)

Dark, moody and broody, this is a thick wine with fleshy tones of black cherry and prune backed by graphite nuances and exotic spice. There’s nice personality here and smooth texture accented by sweet vanilla and cherry highlights.

Albino Armani 1998 Corvara Red (Veneto)
- $28
Spearmint and chocolate aromas add character to the raspberry on the nose. Berries, cocoa powder, pepper and herbs create an exciting palate, one that leads nicely into a smooth, lengthy finish that’s graced by mint and solid but forgiving tannins. One reviewer found it dusty and lean while still liking the wine.

Albino Armani 2007 Incontro Garganega (Soave)

Albino Armani 2001 Pinot Grigio (Veneto)
- $17
Herbal and citrusy, this is a cleanly made Pinot Grigio that offers a modicum of complexity. Pear and citrus flavors mingle with notes of bitter herbs. Finishes with a hint of bitter grapefruit pith but also lingering apple notes.
