| Very deep intense purple colour. Slightly spicy, baked ripe plum puree nose with some cedar-sandalwood notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, slightly spicy, warm ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, slightly sweetish, cedar-tinged, faintly bitter finish. This blend of 70% Corvina, 20% Rondinella and 10% Molinara has 15.5% alcohol and now 11 g/L residual sugar with lot number L17/27 on the back label. The 2012 (**+) was released on October 29, 2016 at $44.95. TONY ASPLER / 89-points - Savoury, raisiny-plum bouquet; full-bodied,sweetish cherry flavour lifted with oak spice; good length thanks to lively acidity ending on a tobacco leaf note. |

| TASTING NOTE: Deep red-ruby. Musky red fruits, cinnamon and bitter chocolate on the nose. Then supple and sweet, but with lovely lift and verve to the fine-grained floral flavors of red cherries and sweet spices. Brisk acids keep the finish of this medium-bodied wine firm and refreshing. Smells and tastes similar to Castellani's Cinque Stelle Amarone. A blend of 70% Corvina, 20% Rondinella and 10% Molinara, the grapes are air-dried for four months and aged for three years in used large oak barrels and barriques. (15.5% alcohol) Score - 91 (Ian D'Agata, vinous.com, March 2017) |
