This Verdicchio has a rich, creamy texture, tropical fruit tones and a dry, elegant finish that makes it one of the most full and complex flavored of all of the Italian white wines. - Color is pale straw yellow with green hues, a pronounced aromatic note of freshness and persistent hints of citrus, white flowers, white fruit and aromatic herbs.
- This is a fresh fruity well balanced wine. It is spicy and displays classic characteristic Chianti.
- Round and fleshy, offering raspberry, cherry and spice flavors, this red is firm and focused, with moderate tannins and acidity driving the spice- and savory-filled finish.
- Dark ruby in the glass with an intense aroma of freshly ground pepper and ripe blackberry; tones of flint, dark tobacco, myrtle, graphite and rosewood. On tasting - a warm, robust structure thanks to the alliance of tannins and alcohol, then slowly releasing notes of chocolate.
- The wine is rich and powerful in the mouth, and gives you a feel of density yet isn't burdened with excessive alcohol or tannins. The flavors on your palate bring back memories of autumn afternoons in Tuscany, warm, earthy, fine leather, dried herbs, dried flowers, grilling meat. There is no "dab" of Merlot to sweeten up the flavors, just ripe, plumy Sangiovese.
- Notes of tobacco, licorice, cedar and red fruit on a medium bodied frame with notable detail and nuance in expression makes this a wonderfully superb wine. Laced with the hints of violets, plums and cherries this wine is extraordinarily rich, soft and well balanced. It is both lively and rich, with a peppery, spicy energy on the finish. Voluptuous, bold and robust. This wine walks a fine line between balanced elegance and super ripeness. A must with roasted wild game and meats; it is the perfect wine for rich cheeses and foods.
- Dried berries and flowers on the nose follow through to a full body, with fine tannins and a fresh finish - outstanding. Give it a year or two to come together.
- This blend of Sangiovese and merlot comes from the famous and fertile land Feren'ca Mate vineyard. It is extremely aromatic and spicy, subtly releases notes of ripe fruit, anise and fresh rosemary. With a full and well built body, is silky on the palate, shows great structure and complexity .
- Mid ruby with orange tinges. Earthy cherry with hints of spice. Complex palate of sour cherry and notes of dried fruit with lovely tanginess and chewy tannins on the finish.
- A dry white wine with a pale-yellow color; clean, intense aroma and dry flavor with elegant body and a velvety feel on the palate.
- A soft, sparkling wine. Straw color with golden tones. A mature, fruity nose. Mild sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity.
- Ruby red color. Sweet spice, chocolate and red fruit aromas with hints of tobacco. Raspberry, strawberry flavors, medium bodied, light tannins and well balanced acidity
- Ruby red color tending towards purple. The nose is pleasing and distinctive, light floral, red fruit aromas with hints of smoke. Soft with cranberry and raspberry fruit in the mouth with a touch of tobacco. Light to medium bodied with moderate acidity.
- A dry elegant, full-bodied red wine, rich in tannin. The nose is dried flowers, violets and anise. In the mouth it is spicy with a long, tannic, yet smooth finish.
- Black pepper nose with dried fruit aromas. Medium bodied with a lively mouth feel. Cherry, raisin and plum flavors. This wine has a long finish with a bit of spice on the end.
- This wine has an intense ruby red color, rich berry flavor and soft tannins. Velvety on the tongue a bountiful Barbera, with plenty of juicy red cherry and raspberry fruit. Gagliardo ages this Barbera in stainless steel to emphasize the grape’s freshness and vivacity.
- Dolcetto is known as the everyday wine of Piedmont. It has a bright ruby red hue with loads of fresh fruit flavors, paired with good acidity and soft tannins. Sweet, dazzlingly ripe cherry and fresh raspberry flavors. Fresh and complex with notes of violets that offers a delicate perfume, while touches of spices and white pepper follow on the finish.
- Fresh, tantalizing accompanied by the flavors of summer fruits with a velvety, frothy palate. Sweet and delicious.
- Half way between still and sparkling, this lovely, crisp wine has just a bit of frizzante' which adds just a tingle of effervescence that dances on the tongue. Perfumes of jasmine and honeysuckle. Lovely and refreshing mouthfeels of green apples and sun ripened pears...
- A distinctive sweet wine with fruity perfume and low alcohol. Hints of almond, melon and ripe stone fruit tickle the nose. Delightfully small bubbles, pear, melon, passion fruit and crisp apple tones, which are perfect with pastries, fruits, custards and long-fermented cheeses.
