It offers more cassis, graphite, spicy wood, and minerality, full-bodied richness, a deep, powerful texture, integrated acidity, and awesome structure.

$1,150.00
As is usually the case this is much earthier and more sauvage with its more deeply pitched aromas of various dark berry fruit, plum, floral and discreet humus nuances. There is notably more size, weight and power present to the markedly rich big-bodied flavors that are at once seductive yet quite serious on the clearly built-to-age finish. Recommended.

Umani Ronchi, Marche Rosso IGT Pelago 2013
$450.00
Pelagos means “sea” in ancient Greek. Bernetti says the name reflects “the influence of the sea on the wine, giving it balsamic flavours, with notes of mint and licorice”.
Pelago is Umani Ronchi’s version of Sassicaia, the first Super Tuscan, and made from 50 per cent montepulciano, 40 per cent cabernet sauvignon and 10 per cent merlot. “It is a wine that retains the style and personality of the indigenous grapes while broadening its aromatic profile and complexity by adding qualities of the Bordeaux style of wine,” Bernetti says, adding that “the montepulciano component adds freshness and acid to the wine, balancing the relative heaviness of the cabernet sauvignon”.
