Here is a very elegant and smooth wine that leaves a silky, polished impression in the mouth. It awards the nose with bright aromas of wild berry, licorice and toasted almond. It’s simple, genuine and sophisticated all at once. — (9/1/2012) —93

Riserva Santo Stefano opens with earthy tones of forest floor and wild mushroom followed by tighter aromas of cassis and cherry cola. This is an easy, firm and compact wine with a drying finish that would pair with braised or stewed meat dishes. ——M.L.(9/1/2011)—— 89
