Trabucchi’s 2004 Valpolicella Superiore Terre di San Colombano is a deeply-colored, intense wine loaded with sweet dark fruit, chocolate and licorice. Made in a soft-textured, sumptuous style, this brooding fruit bomb of a Valpolicella may not be the most elegant wine out there, but it does offer plenty of up-front appeal. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2009.
