The Veneto, located in the north-east of Italy, is a region that contributes a significant percentage, nearly a quarter, of the country’s total wine industry. Several of the major DOCs, including Soave, Bianco di Custoza, Valpolicella and Bardolino, plus Amarone, are produced here. The beloved sparkling wine Prosecco, while produced all over the country, has its origins and its best expression in the Veneto and is its own DOC.
Amarone is essentially a modern day update on a traditional wine made for centuries from dried grapes in the area around Verona in Italy’s Veneto region--Recioto della Valpolicella. Whereas Recioto is quite sweet, however, thanks to a substantial amoun...

Interesting clear straw color in the glass. Pretty indescript nose--I really don't get anything. Fairly light-bodied on the palate. Some fruit flavors--peach, table grapes, melon. A bit of oxidation. Some bitterness on the back of the throat. Best thing is the finish. After all the underwhelming sensations in the mouth, there is a pleasan... Read More

A 2007 Blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara from Valpolicella, Italy. Ruby color with mid-rim variation. Dark fruits hints of plum and cranberry with a hint of chocolate. It has a mid-finish on the palette and balanced acidity. This wine is in peak time now, 2012-2017. Best served chilled to 58 degrees, and served with a grilled pork loin ... Read More

A surprise find hidden in an Italian friend's cantina, enjoyed with aged ribeye grilled alla "bistecca fiorentina" style, baked potato, melanzane grilliate and insalata misto. Intense nose of plum, cherry and chocolate, I could not et my nose out of the glass. The palate revealed a smooth vanilla building to a rich smokey finish that was pleasan... Read More

Red wine of 100% marzemino grapes, 2010 vintage.Clear but not transparent, purple-red with some ruby nuances, consistent.Intense and somewhat complex aromas (red fruits).Lot of tannins at taste, but also having a good acidity to keep it equilibrated and not to "warm", persistent. Read More

The wine is medium yellow in the glass with an enticing yellow water lily scent that, if you've never encountered it, is somewhat like lemon oil. Allspice, kiwi fruit, and lemon loaf come together on the palate with noteworthy viscosity and a medium finish. Somewhat warm with mild almond bitters. 88 points. Read More
