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.
