Foradori's vino da tavola, the 1996 Granato, offers an opaque purple color, palate saturating extract levels, and a powerful, rich, ripe, jammy finish. The wine is massive and impressive, but youthful and unevolved. Flavors of cherry liqueur, kirsch, blackberries, and new oak dominate the wine at present. Look for this monster to age for 10-15 years.
