    This blend of Aglianico, Merlot and Sangiovese opens with aromas of ripe black plum, toasted oak, chocolate and game. The thick, one-dimensional palate is overripe, offering stewed black cherry, prune, vanilla and chocolate alongside drying wood tannins.

    Emè is a beautifully balanced blend of Aglianico, Merlot and Sangiovese. Its soft, velvety texture is spectacular, as are its generous aromas of cherry, black fruit, spice, leather and tobacco. There's a touch of sharp freshness on the finish that pulls it all together.

    This is a unique wine from an area of Italy that rarely does blended varieties. The grapes used here are Aglianico, Piedirosso and Sangiovese and the aromas include soy sauce, cola, root beer and barbecue sauce. A little strange and probably not for everyone.
