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

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
