I love the aromas of blackberries, graphite and walnut with cedar. Full-bodied with ultra-fine tannins that run the length of the wine, showing class and sophistication. Creamy and finely textured. Needs three to four years to soften. Best after 2026. ... More details

Scorched earth blows off to reveal depths of licorice, crushed blackberries and a dusting of cocoa as the 2019 Korem smolders up from the glass. This is silky yet sleek, with cooling acidity and saline minerals up front. Zesty acidity enlivens its tart wild berry fruit. A web of fine tannins wraps the palate in youthful poise as the 2019 finishes structured and long with a mocha tinge elevated by suggestions of sour citrus. This is going to be an exciting vintage of Korem to follow.

Rated 90 by Wine Spectator
Features fine, chalky tannins that provide a firm, well-knit frame for a dark, juicy flavor range of sun-dried black cherry, date and dark chocolate, with tea rose and five-spice accents. Enlivened by balsamico acidity, the chewy finish shows an echoing hint of medicinal herbs. Bovale, Carignano and Cannonau. Drink now through 2029. 5,000 cases made, 450 cases imported.
Winery
Bovale Sardo (Graciano) is an underrated grape that has been making a comeback in its native Rioja. Korem blends the low-yielding and deeply-colored Bovale Sardo for aroma and acidity, with Carignano for tannin, and Cannonau for fruit and body to achieve an elegant wine of layered complexity.

Country: Italy

For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.
