Generously the racy Grosso Agontano Riserva exudes its ripe bouquet of sour cherry and cocoa. The taste is rich, dynamic and juicy with dense, soft tannins.
"Generous aromas of dark plums and cherries, violets, liquorice, thyme and coffee bean. Firm tannins and elegant oak flavours." - Decanter Magazine
Selection of the best Montepulciano grapes and yields in the vineyard that are deliberately kept low give this wine big structure. It is matured for one to two years in small French oak barrels and spends nearly two years in the bottle before it is released for consumption. The most impressive characteristic of the wine is its aroma of cherries, which is typical of Rosso Cònero. It blends harmoniously with scents of wood. The wine is suitable for prolonged aging.
I have enjoyed these wines very much - in particular I liked the Belle Vignes which was rich and very flavoursome
The Cabra Cega was a particularly easy drinking quaffing wine.
Still have another 2 bottles left to sample

Great
Great selection, great taste, great value, fast delivery
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
