Cellar/Tasting Notes
Dark and intense red-purple color. Warm, full, and soft with balanced acidity and a long finish of red fruits. Elegant aromas of blackberries and sweet spices. Pairings: Antipasti, first courses, cheese, and salami.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2009 Dogliani Vigna del Prey emerges from the glass with an exciting array of wild cherries, spices, tar and game. This is a somewhat wild, animalistic Dolcetto, yet there is just enough polish to balance some of the wine’s more extroverted leanings. The finish turns slightly firm, but that..

This Italian blend (50% Merlot 30% Sangiovese 20% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a wonderful treasure to be had from dell'Ornellaia.

"Fascinating aromas of ripe berries and hints of coconut and vanilla bean follow through to a full body, with super silky tannins and a long and intense finish. Lots going on here. Excellent value...so excellent now."

"The 2006 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Feuduccio is another refined offering. Sweet, silky tannins frame a core of expressive red fruit in this sleek, polished Montepulciano.

Rosso is loved for its depth of black cherry and wild-berry fruit,..

A traditional, easy to drink wine, which comes from a blend of Dolcetto grapes from the vineyards of the Einaudi estates which surround Dogliani; namely, on the hillsides of Madonna delle Grazie, San Luigi and Santa Lucia. Of a ruby red colour which tends toward violet, of a rich fresh fruity..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 Rosso di Montalcino bursts from the glass with juicy red berries, flowers and licorice. It shows lovely depth and roundness, not to mention an undeniably appealing personality. The clean, vibrant acidity adds considerable freshness. This is an utterly delicious Rosso." - Antonio Galloni
