Deep purple. Rich, dense aromas and flavors of blueberry and black cherry, lifted by a light spritz. Luscious but vibrant in the mouth, finishing very long and classically dry. Outstanding quality for the price, but you have to like red wines with a little fizz. Perfect with burgers and pizza.

Bright medium ruby. Black cherry, blackberry, licorice and chocolate on the nose. Delightful juicy cut to the primary dark berry and sweet cola and spice flavors. Soft tannins and lively acidity should make this flexible with many tomato-based dishes such as pasta and pizza. A blend of Piedirosso, Aglianico and Sciascinoso.

Deep inky ruby with a bright froth. A hint of green herbs and bell pepper marks the dark blue and red fruit aromas. Enters sweet and luscious, then turns dry and almost austere, leaving the mouth feeling fresh and clean, but slightly fruit-challenged. A hint of tannic bite further underscores the classically dry finish. Less sophisticated but more fruity than Lettere, but each will have its fans. A difficult year on the Campanian coast, so this is actually big success.
