The spectacular 1996 Ronco Calvari is a massive, thick, full-bodied effort with great symmetry and balance. Sumptuous aromas of blackberries, creosote, and flowers jump from the glass. Although still unevolved, it exhibits considerable potential. The natural alcohol is 14.5%. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2012. Kudo's to both Miani and his consulting oenologist, Roberto Cipresso.
