The 2004 Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso Calvari is a stunner. The wine flows from the glass with an array of exotic black cherries, spices, sweet herbs, minerals, coffee beans, ginger and toasted oak. This sumptuous, full-bodied red offers superb density and volume on the palate with tons of style. As tempting as it is to taste this wine now, it remains a powerful, structured Refosco in need of serious bottle age. Still its class and sheer pedigree are amply evident even at this early stage. Miani’s Refosco is one of the finest wines being made in Italy today. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.
