TASTING NOTES
Vespa Rosso, is uncommonly fruit-forward and structured for a “cold climate” red wine, yet it retains many of the spicy, earthy notes that characterize Friulian reds.
Very ripe aromas and hints of red plum, blackberry jam and botanical herbs are enhanced by a lively and harmonious acidity. The tannins confer the body on the final persistent.
Ian D'agata, Vinous Media (vinousmedia.com)It shows lots of ripe fruit, with hints of plums. Full body, soft and velvety tannins and a long and flavorful aftertaste. Doughy and delicious. Spicy and fruity.
James Suckling, JamesSuckling.comVespa Rosso has great intensity... harmony with wealth... Velvety, opulent. Excellent.
Monica Larner, Robert Parker Jr.'s The Wine Advocate."Calabrone is a reserve wine made with a percentage of dried grapes. This process intensifies its flavors and softens its tannins."

FOOD PAIRING
This great red wine is ideal with robust red meat dishes, especially game, like wild boar and venison.
TASTING NOTES
The nose is filled with chocolate, spice, coffee and mature red fruit. The palate has intense fruit, considerable power and grip, while maintaining elegance and acidic balance on the finish.
The Calabrone is a crazy wine, it shows so many spices, cloves, nutmeg and small berries. Full bodied and slightly sweet, it shows round tannins and a lively finish. Very similar to an amarone.
James Suckling, JamesSuckling.comA juicy red in a mature style, with noble tannins imprint on the complex palate with black currant puree, plum sauce, licorice and melted tar. Hints of fig bread, espresso coffee and grilled herbs dwell on the rich aftertaste.
Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator MagazineCalabrone is spectacular... Deep spice and tobacco... Meticulous and impressive.
