hailing from the town of suvereto in the southern maremma, this sophomore cabernet-merlot blend from the same owner as bellavista and contadi castaldi in franciacorta is flat-out awesome. one whiff of the bouquet says it all: earth, currant, blackberry and coffee. the palate is equally sensational—a magic carpet ride of plum fruit, pure oak and solid but forgiving tannins. drink and enjoy any time through 2006.
