Casale del Giglio is making a very good reputation for itself thanks in part to this hearty Shiraz. The wine delivers typical aromas of crushed white pepper, blackberry and clove and it offers roasted espresso bean and chocolate covered cherry on the close. ——M.L.(3/1/2011)—— 87

Here’s a dense Shiraz from Lazio with aromas of mature blackberry, blueberry, cherry cola and root beer. The wine is soft and thick in the mouth with a chewy texture and offers loads of raw fruit flavors.——M.L.(9/1/2009)—— 85
