Bottled in July 2015 and released in Sept 2018, the 2013 Calabrone is a smart and creative blend of Refosco (70%), Schioppettino (10%), Pignolo (10%) and Merlot (10%). It opens to dark intensity and gorgeous notes of smoke and tar. It shows an excellent quality of ripe and plummy fruit. It's lean and mean in the mouth, not too heavy, delivering sweet cherry notes that are finely wrapped in savory tobacco. The Calabrone is a full and complete wine, and worthy of any celebration that features a lamb on the spit.
