Odoardi’s 2006 Savuto is beautiful in this vintage. A blend of 45% Gaglioppo, 15% Greco Nero, 15% Nerello Cappuccio, 15% Magliocco Canino and 10% Sangiovese, this plump, juicy red impresses for the integrity of its fruit. Tobacco, mint, truffles and smoke add further layers of complexity. This is a gorgeous effort from Odoardi. Even better, it is a steal for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014.

A beefy, herb-tinged red, sporting dense layers of plum sauce, grilled fig and currant paste, stacked with notes of roasted game, rosemary and humus. The finish lingers, despite noticeable tannins. Gaglioppo, Greco Nero, Nerello Cappuccio, Magliocco Canino and Sangiovese. Drink now through 2016. 14,000 cases made.??–NW??Region: Italy / South / Calabria / Savuto Select to Add
