Profound yet intense ripe nose with rich but fresh dark cherries, earth, cocoa powder, some violet extract and fresh figs. Concentrated, full-bodied and packed with fresh blackberries, licorice and dark cherries, but nothing heavy. Juicy and long with fine, melted-chocolate tannins. Extremely heavy bottle. Drink or hold. Score - 94. (jamessuckling.com, Oct. 5, 2022)

Rich, fruity nose with lots of crushed blackberries and dark cherries, colored with dark spices and a hint of smoke. Full-bodied with a concentrated and focused palate. The tannins form a sturdy frame, but the fresh fruit rides through the long finish. Drink or hold. Score - 93. (jamessuckling.com, Nov. 7, 2023)

This blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese is always a wine of great value and style. Supple, complex and floral, with vanilla spice, cherry, black fruit, plum, leather, peppercorn and bramble tones, it's crafted in a modern, approachable style.

This wine was first produced in 2016. The 2021 is 70% Montepulciano and 30% Sangiovese sourced from clay soils with some limestone deposits. It's quite elegant and nuanced, with generous red and dark fruit, vanilla, and black pepper atop evocative floral notes culminating in a long finish. Enjoy through 2027.

The 2023 Pecorino Offida Villa Angela is sharply focused with a pungent whiff of grapefruit and lemon zest, further complicated by wild herbs and crushed stone. This is round and soothing, with a balanced inner sweetness offset by sour lime and crisp green apple. It finishes short yet clean and refreshing, leaving a hint of tart citrus rind concentration. If tasting blind, I could mistake this for a rich and powerful New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. That said, it's opulent, balanced and thoroughly satisfying. Drinking window: 2024-2026. Score - 89.
