Cescon Italo Storia e Vini 2006 Amaranto 72 Riserva Red
Here’s an inky dark and impenetrable blend of Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc, Merlot and Marzemino. This is a seriously dense and rich expression with loads of mature fruit and spice that make for a layered and complex whole. The wine also shows tight, firm tannins.

Cescon Italo Storia e Vini 2007 Chieto Red
This inky black blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot delivers a thick, impenetrable appearance with jammy notes of blackberry preserves and maraschino cherry. It presents chewy, succulent fruit but is not overdone or too heavy on the close.
