Cavalchina 2007 Torre d'Orti Red (Amarone della Valpolicella)

  1. $30
Cured meat, smoked bacon, dried herb and Indian spice pretty much sum up the bold aromatic profile of this superrich Amarone. Characteristic fruit tones of prune and black plum do pop up on the finish, giving the wine a smooth close.  — M.L.  (12/1/2011)

Cavalchina 2008 Morari Torre d'Orti Red (Valpolicella Superiore)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $25
Here’s a spicy, hot Valpolicella Superiore (the alcohol can be felt) that opens with mature notes of prune, blackberry and syrupy cassis. There’s a touch of toasted almond and the mouthfeel picks up speed and intensity thanks to its long fruity flavors.  — M.L.  (2/1/2011)

Cavalchina 2006 Morari Torre d'Orti Red (Valpolicella Superiore)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $20
There’s an almost exaggerated note of chocolate and vanilla at the start followed by dried fruit, spice, new leather and pipe tobacco. This Valpolicella Superiore is packed tight with personality and charm and its thick texture makes it a perfect companion to grilled meats. You do however feel the heat of 16.5% alcohol. Imported by Vin Divino.  — M.L.  (10/1/2009)

Cavalchina 2009 Torre d'Orti Red (Valpolicella Ripasso)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $14
Simple and fresh with ripe fruit aromas, this well-priced Ripasso would stand up to grilled sausage, oven-rosted pasta or steak with onions and green peppers. The wine offers dusty mineral notes backed by dried tobacco and leather.  — M.L.  (12/1/2011)

Cavalchina 2007 Torre d'Orti Red (Valpolicella Superiore)

  • Online Exclusive
You absolutely can’t go wrong with a wine like this. Valpolicella Torre d’Orti is an easy, fresh wine that would pair with anything from lasagna to cheeseburgers. It’s crisp and thin with a nice quality of cherry, raspberry and cassis fruit.  — M.L.  (2/1/2011)
