Chocolate dipped black cherries are the prominent aromas and flavours in this robust Italian red wine. Fairly smooth. Pair with hearty meat dishes, especially caramelized meats with a touch of sweetness.

Food pairings: Polynesian roast wild duck, grilled duck with wild rice, sautéed duck breast mushrooms in cream sauce and noodles.

This robust Italian red wine is made using partially dried grapes to add flavour, weight and heft. Coffee and mocha on the finish. - Community Wine Review

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
