Here's an original wine with a big fun factor. You see it in the wine's appearance that is bright, saturated and luminous. The La Mozza 2015 Maremma Toscana Rosso Aragone is punchy and vibrant with fresh primary fruit that is carefully framed by well-dosed oak. The blend is 50% Sangiovese, 25% Syrah and 25% Alicante Bouschet, and the wine is aged in tonneaux for 18 months. There is a dark, spicy quality and lots of pretty primary fruit that tastes exceptionally fresh today at the seven-year mark. The fruit comes from a four-hectare site with limestone soils, and some 8,000 bottles are released.

The 2007 Aragone is a blend of Sangiovese, Alicante, Syrah and Carignano. Racy dark red cherries, flowers, earthiness and licorice are some of the nuances that flow from this textured, expressive wine. In 2007, Aragone sits on the razor’s edge of over ripeness; coming close, but never going over the top. A refined, polished finish serves to balance some of the more opulent qualities. This racy, sexy wine delivers incredible quality for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. Importer: Dark Star Imports, New York, NY; tel. (646) 312-8921

The 2006 Aragone is a dark, brooding offering endowed with masses of iron, minerals, black cherries, earthiness and smoke. The wine gains volume and depth in the glass, revealing tons of fruit and considerable structure. For the moment, the 2006 Aragone remains somewhat monolithic and in need of a year or two of bottle age. The wine should be splendid when it awakens. Aragone is Sangiovese, Alicante, Syrah and Carignan. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2018. La Mozza is the Maremma estate of restaurateurs Mario Batali, Lidia Bastianich and Joe Bastianich.
