da Wine Enthusiast:

Pelago 2004
This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Montepulciano and Merlot offers thick density and a dark core of extracted black fruit, plum, prune and leafy vegetable. You’ll also get espresso bean and dark chocolate and a gritty, thick drinking experience. — M.L. (2/1/2009)



San Lorenzo 2005
This is a thick, brooding Montepulciano with deep concentration and well-balanced notes of blackberry, plum, prunes and Turkish spice. The wine has inky black consistency covered by oak flavors and long black fruit on the close. It’s big in the mouth but not on the wallet. — M.L. (2/1/2009)



Villa Bianchi 2006
Golden Delicious apple, pear, stone fruit and melon characterize the nose of this thick and luscious Verdicchio. The well-priced wine has pretty aromas and the structure necessary to pair with fish or white meat. It ends on a bright crisp note and offers deep fruity flavors. — M.L. (2/1/2009)

Cùmaro 2004
Here’s a Conero Riserva from the estate’s San Lorenzo vineyard that holds back nicely in terms of its aromatic intensity and delivers a drinkable, elegant experience instead. The mouthfeel is clean and polished with sweet cherry flavors backed by Asian spice. — M.L. (2/1/2009)

Vecchie Vigne 2005
Here’s a creamy and elegant Verdicchio from old vines that offers an array of aromatic highlights that includes stone fruit, melon, almond and a touch of chopped green herb. It leaves a positive impression in the mouth thanks to its bright, fruity flavors, solid structure and spicy finish. — M.L. (2/1/2009)

Plenio 2004
This Verdicchio, from the best grapes of the estate’s Villa Bianchi vineyard, offers pretty renderings of honey, pear and stone fruit. The aromas are fresh, vibrant and inviting and the mouthfeel is long-lasting and bright. Thirty percent of the wine ferments in new French oak to give the wine added texture and flavor. — M.L. (2/1/2009)

Jorio 2004
Here’s a cheerful and approachable Montepulciano d’Abruzzo with a genuine approach that emphasizes fruit quality. The variety is naturally rustic, deep and rich in flavors and color. It also has cooling freshness that works nicely with its thick texture. — M.L. (2/1/2009)

Jorio 2005
The wine’s cherry and spice flavors reach a good balance and create a solid wall of taste and flavor. This is not a subtle or intricate wine, but it is a fruit-forward, juicy expression of Montepulciano with chewy tannins and good succulence. — M.L. (2/1/2009)

Montepulciano 2006
There’s a warm, meaty quality to this wine that recalls beef jerky, white pepper and smoked ham backed by cooked plums and sweet spice. It tastes round and slightly sweet and ends with refreshing herbal nuances. — M.L. (2/1/2009)

Serrano 2006
Very ripe notes of berry fruit and cherry liqueur appear on the nose of this ruby colored blend of hearty Montepulciano and delicate Sangiovese. The wine is thin and compact and offers cherry flavors on the end. — M.L. (2/1/2009)

Medoro 2005
This flat, jammy expression of Sangiovese delivers resin-like notes of tar and asphalt backed by ripe berry fruit. Almost past its prime, the wine does have smooth tannins and medium persistency. — M.L. (2/1/2009)

Montepulciano Montipagano 2005
Heat and power emerge immediately from the nose of this slightly brownish Montepulciano. Dig deep and you’ll find prunes, blackberry, tobacco and resin. The wine is simple overall with gritty tannins. — M.L. (2/1/2009)
