The unctuously thick, black/purple-colored 1997 Ronco Calvari is astonishing. It displays Syrah-like characteristics (creme de cassis, blackberries, and melted road tar), as well as a thick, unctuous texture, and a blockbuster finish. This remarkable effort will be at its finest between 2001-2020. Kudo's to both Miani and his consulting oenologist, Roberto Cipresso.
