The 2011 Calabrone is a celebrated blend of mostly Refosco (70%) with Schioppettino, Pignolo and Merlot. A portion of the grapes are air-dried before being pressed for fermentation and this process helps to increase the overall intensity and depth. This is a beautiful red wine with a seamless presentation of aromas that spans from sweet blackberry jam to exotic spice and freshly ground cinnamon. Those rich fruit flavors give the wine ample softness in terms of texture and sweetness in terms of flavor.
