A succulent Amarone, the Accordini is thick with aromas - cherry and dried fruit, molten chocolate and sweet spice with roasted hazelnut, toffee, a hint of banana and a dense, earthy core. Expect loads of spice, cocoa and rich berry flavours, it is full on the palate with nice acidity to brighten it up. It is dark and decadent - savoury flavours of herbs, roasted espresso beans and smoked, meaty tones hang on the finish. Nice depth, a pleasing chewiness with supple tannins on the finish.
Pair it with rich meat dishes or with hard aged cheeses, after the meal.

A delicious, concentrated red that offers black raspberry, cherry, chocolate and molasses aromas with rum-soaked raisins and espresso liqueur notes. The palate is supple and rich - here dried cherries, spiced cocoa and sasparilla lead the charge. There is lovely weight here and bright acidity to balance followed with a long juicy finish.
Great paired with aged crumbly cheeses or pasta with hearty, spicy red sauces.

Expect impressive concentration in this Valpolicella.
Stewed cherries, vanilla, roasted espresso beans, sunbaked earth and spicebox aromas. The palate is smooth and generous, brimming with ripe supple fruit and mocha followed by a classic, pleasantly bitter finish.
A wine for medium-hard cheeses, hearty eggplant parmesan or roasted meat dishes.

I call this a swoon-worthy baby Amarone.
It seduces you with intense aromas of kirsch, prunes, luscious chocolate and espresso with undertones of leather and baking spices. It's rich and densely weighted on the palate and has impressive concentration of sweet cherry, dried fruits, cocoa and coffee flavours with lingering warm spice on the finish. Very well balanced with a supple, elongated finish.
Excellent value.

Dark and brooding, this toothsome ripasso presents bittersweet chocolate and espresso aromas with hints of balsamic, sweet cedary notes and an earthy core. It's really nicely weighted on the palate - Here is a focused, serious red offering dried fruits and minty notes. It is earthy with fine cocoa tannins and plenty of mouth-watering acidity.
A substantial wine, perfect with rich meaty dishes or dense cheeses.
Decanting recommended.
