For the first time in Italy we’d like to share this new reviews about the last vintages tasted by Wine Spectator.

Harlequin 2009 – 94 pts : “Ripe and rich black currant coulis and black cherry fruit, along with dried fig and dark chocolate notes, try for exuber- ance in this medium- to full-bodied red, only to be reined in by the sleek, refined tannins and restrained overall balance. Give this some air or me in the cellar for all of the nuances to show. A blend of more than a dozen local and interna onal grape varie es, both red and white. Best from 2020 through 2030. 278 cases made.”

Amarone 2011 – 93 pts: “Creamy and harmonious, this full-bodied red offers a core of baked black cherry fruit, fig cake and dried thyme fla- vors layered with fine-grained tannins. Accents of singed orange peel and espresso crème linger on the finish. Drink now through 2028. 766 cases made.”

Kairos 2012 – 93 pts: “Eucalyptus notes and a wa of mesquite smoke underscore the fig cake, dried cherry, cocoa powder and orange zest flavors in this dense and chewy red, which is rich and expressive, with a long, spiced, silky finish. A blend of more than a dozen local and interna onal grape varie es, both red and white. Best from 2020 through 2032. 833 cases made.”

Kairos 2013 – 92 pts: “Aroma c with mace and singed orange peel accents, this well-spiced red is full-bodied and rich, offering kirsch, tarry smoke, grilled herb and licorice string flavors layered with creamy tannins that firm the finish.
