The 2014 Arcotondo is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc that has been aged for 18 months in barriques (new and up to three years old). Dark ruby in color, this is super ripe and aromatic flavored red with purity and elegance on the nose. Dark cherries and plums on the nose. Silky textured, fresh and juicy, this is a lovely aromatic and well-structured#though not very concentrated#Bordeaux blend. It has purity, finesse and elegance. Nice bitter flavors in the finish, firm yet fine and with ripe tannins. It is moderate in alcohol at 12.5%. This wine is delicious today but should still be excellent after eight or more years.

Sehr kräftiges Rot; in der Nase Rhabarber, Cassis, Brombeere, Schwarzkirsche, Molkenote, Anflug von Röstaromen; im Gaumen samtig-weicher Auftakt, mittelgewichtig, saftig, Schwefelzündhölzli, noch leicht trocknendes Tannin; gute Länge. Schmeichelnder Merlot, mehrheitsfähig, kann noch zulegen.

From 28-year-old vines on porous soils in Vernate, which deliver small berries with high fruit concentration, the 2015 Crescendo is a dark, intense, purple-red Merlot with a super ripe, intense, aromatic cassis and licorice/violet bouquet with refreshing leafy, floral and spicy aromas but also burnt gummy notes at this stadium. On the palate, this is a very lush but also clear, fresh and finessed red with blueberry and black berry flavors, fine tannins and remarkable balance. This is perfectly ripe, elegant and still somewhat sweet Merlot that will be a great pleasure to drink in two or so years. Tasted in Zurich, August 2017.

The 2014 Dorando is a 100% Malcantone Chardonnay fermented in concrete eggs and wooden vats. The citrus-colored wine opens with a clear, fresh and pretty intense bouquet of ripe white fruit, melon, lime and kumquat flavors. Medium-bodied, round and fresh on the palate this is an elegant, well-structured and nicely salty food wine, with an excellent phenolic grip and tension. Ginger flavors in the good aftertaste. The 2014 is still young, but perfect with all kinds of fish and white meats.
