Here's a structured ripasso that seems more like an Amarone. It has earthy underbrush aromas, with notes of tobacco leaf and spirit-soaked cherry. The palate shows ripe black fruit, chili pepper and red-hot cinnamon. It also closes with the heat of alcohol.

On the hot and alcoholic side, this powerful wine has the muscle to cut through cheeses, rich cream sauces or fatty stewed beef. The touch of crisp acidity, as well as the wine's ripe, berry-scented bouquet also make it an appropriate pairing partner to those foods.
