"A sturdy, chewy Aglianico, with bright berry fruit, mingled with floral, mineral and sweet tobacco notes. Medium- to full-bodied, with an intense bead of fruit, firm young tannins and a long, ultraclean mineral finish. Slightly less opulent than years past but excellent. Needs time. Best after 2008."

"A beautiful wine: sweet cherry and berry fruit nuances are woven with threads of vanilla, toast and ash. Despite the firm and penetrating mineral element, this wine is actually very plush, soft and round and it delivers long spicy notes on the finish."

"Aromas of banana, cream and mango follow through to the palate in this full-bodied white, with lots of fruit and a long finish. Drink now. 83,500 cases made." -James Suckling

100% Greco di Tufo
Grapes are harvested by hand in mid-October. After de-stemming, grapes are crushed and left on the skins for a brief cold soak. Free run juice undergoes alcoholic fermentation in steel vats. No malolactic fermentation. Rich golden hue. Delicate scents of ripe apricots, apples, fern and mint. Harmonious, with a lively acidity and a long, fruity finish. Ideal with fish dishes, pastas and risottos.

"Dried pineapple with honey aromas follow to a full-bodied palate, very sweet and a long rich, caramel and vanilla aftertaste. Fiano. Drink now. 1,300 cases made." -James Suckling

100% Aglianico di Taurasi.
Brilliant ruby red. Intense, rich aroma of red berries and spice. Soft and balanced, with flavors of cherries and strawberries leading into a smooth finish. Enjoy with red or white meats, and hard cheeses.

"The 2001 Taurasi Riserva Piano di Montevergine is off the charts. This dense Taurasi exudes the essence of jammy blueberries, blackberries, tar and smoke. Still incredibly primary, it is loaded with fruit and appears to be destined for a very long life. The tannins are well-integrated and the wine boasts phenomenal balance so there is every reason to believe it will only improve with time. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2026." -Antonio Galloni

"The 2009 Falanghina is a gorgeous white endowed with surprising richness in its almost tropical expression of fruit. Signature Falanghina aromatics emerge in the glass, adding further complexity to this generous and utterly engaging white. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012." -Antonio Galloni

"This is full and intense, with lemon, pear and mineral character. Shows complex fruit flavors on a well-defined palate, with balanced acidity and a long finish of fruit and mineral. There's some petrol to this, like Riesling. A classy Fiano. Drink now. 15,000 cases made." -Jo Cooke

"The 2009 Rosanovae Rosato (Aglianico) is one of the most interesting rosés I tasted this year. Dried roses, berries, spices, minerals and licorice are some of the notes that emerge from this ethereal, deceptively medium-bodied wine. Aglianico is best-known as the grape used for Taurasi, one of Italy’s most powerful reds, but here it shows great promise as a unique, totally beguiling rosé. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2011." -Antonio Galloni
