Terre del Principe 2007 Vigna Piancastelli Red (Terre del Volturno)
- $80
This inky blend of Pallagrello Nero and Casavecchia (two of Italy’s oldest grape varieties) opens with opulent aromas of chocolate, exotic spice, dark fruit, cola and cinnamon. It is smooth and rich on the palate but the wine also imparts a high dose of sweetness and succulence that would work well next to rare beef.

Terre del Principe 2007 Ambruco Pallagrello (Terre del Volturno)
- $58
Ambruco is a softly layered and rich wine that imparts opulent aromas of chocolate, sweet spice, dark fruit, plum, prune and licorice. There’s a touch of bitterness in the mouth but otherwise the mouthfeel is thick and dense enough to smooth out any wrinkles.

Terre del Principe 2007 Centomoggia Casavecchia (Terre del Volturno)
- $58
This inky, thick and well- extracted wine (made from Casavecchia grapes) offers very pretty aromas of dark chocolate, prune, exotic spice and black jammy fruit. The tannins are soft and polished and the wine performs even better after a few minutes in the glass.

Terre del Principe 2010 Le Sèrole Pallagrello (Terre del Volturno)
- Online Exclusive
- $43
Le Sèrole seems intent on showing the aging potential of the little-known Pallagrello Bianco variety. This opens with an off-gold color and bright aromas of candied fruit, honey and dried apricot. The natural structure will help it last a few years longer.

Terre del Principe 2009 Centomoggia Casavecchia (Terre del Volturno)
- Online Exclusive
- $53
Bold and inky, this wine is made from the little-known Casavecchia grape. It opens with notes of bitter chocolate, cherry, blackberry, cured meat and savory crushed peppercorn. There’s a slight note of sourness on the finish that is balanced by hints of crushed granite and smoky campfire.

Terre del Principe 2009 Ambruco Pallagrello (Terre del Volturno)
- Online Exclusive
- $53
This has bright aromas of maraschino, tobacco, bitter chocolate, prune and dusty mineral. There’s a tightness to the mouthfeel that is reinforced by acidity and long-lasting berry flavors.

Terre del Principe 2009 Castello delle Femmine Red (Terre del Volturno)
- $38
Terre del Principe tends to produce very extracted and thickly concentrated wines. Castello delle Femmine, on the other hand, exhibits a lighter more delicate style with aromas of dark fruit, spice, plum and cola. The power is there, only it’s packaged in a silk lining.
