This hearty, late harvest Montepulciano-based wine is only made in the best years. This barrique-aged vintage delivers red cherry, toasted nut, tobacco, leather and black chocolate. The tannins are firm, but not astringent, leaving this a natural choice for grilled red meat.

Dark, dense concentration sets this Conero apart from the crowd as do the penetrating notes of red fruit, plum, beets, leather and tobacco. The wine delivers structure, power and would be best paired with grilled meat.

There’s a milky blueberry quality that rides in front of black fruit, forest berry, moist earth and tobacco. You’ll also get nice mineral shadings in the background with more blueberry and mature raspberry on the close.

Aromas of dried apple skins, wild berries and white cherries open this concentrated Sangiovese from Central Italy. A tiny hint of volatility adds a buoyant, immediate quality and helps define the sharp berry tones you get on the finish.

This blend of Verdicchio, Chardonnay and Trebbiano offers bright crispness and pretty flavors of peach, citrus and cantaloupe. This easygoing white plays its best cards in the mouth and would pair with shrimp cocktail or scallops.
