winemaker's notes:

Made from 80% Prugnolo (Sangiovese) and 20% Aglianico. The wine was aged in large oak barrels for 2-3 years. The wine displays an intense ruby-red color with violet reflections. The scent of plums comes through on the nose. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety with a perfect balance between the flavors of plum and woodland berries. Hints of licorice are evident in the persistent finish.

  Disappointing - 4/22/2008
I would not buy this wine again

Purchased this on the RP recommendation and had to re read the review after drinking it to make sure I hadn't made a mistake. This is a very dense, backward wine that is said to be "a joy" to drink now though shows no sign of that whatsoever. When I looked again at the review, I noted the qualifier "not especially vibrant". This is the salient characteristic of the wine. Suggest you leave this one for the initiated.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.

Organically grown grapes
