Sort By:

Garofoli 2006 Dorato White (Marche)

Here’s a very aromatic dessert wine (made from dried grapes) from the Marche region of central Italy with soapy aromas of scented candle and florists’ shop. It has very rich and extremely fragrant flavors that last a long time. — M.L. (12/15/2008)

Garofoli 2004 Serra Fiorese Riserva Verdicchio (Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico)

Online Exclusive

Price $28

Here’s an elaborate and sophisticated Verdicchio Riserva from central Italy that sees ten months of oak aging for softness in the mouth and intensity of aromas. The wine delivers warm tones of melon and peach backed by vanilla, toasted bread and butterscotch. It would make an excellent companion to pheasant or game hen. — M.L. (5/1/2009)

Garofoli 2001 Podium Verdicchio (Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore)

Best Buy

Price $15

Rich and stately, with superior aromas of honey, almond, peach and pear. The palate is nicely developed; it’s simultaneously soft and extracted as well as defined and structured. The spicy finish blends pepper with cinnamon. A great match for fish. — M.S. (8/1/2004)

Garofoli 2000 Grosso Agontano Riserva Montepulciano (Rosso Conero)

Price $25

This Montepulciano is seductively smoky, with bacon and spice aromas courtesy of full-fledged oak. The flavors run toward plum, blackberry, currants and bitter chocolate. Extracted, dense and dark; almost a star. — M.S. (6/1/2005)
