Using the revered 'appassimento' technique for making Amarone, this producer hooked up with Allegrini to try their attempt at duplicating this magnificent wine style.  In their case, they use Cab Franc, Cab Sauv, Malbec and Bonardo but it just doesn't measure up.  The alcohol strength is there but this wine tastes too much like a dirty leather glove/mitt.  Not good at all, but possibly fine for some folks.

Our Mission: The Black Winer strives to expose African Americans [and others] to wines, without the flair, stuffiness, and airs of elitism and snobbery that you get from sommeliers and high level wine enthusiasts. We believe in finding something that you like the taste of, outside of the basic brands that you have been force-fed over the years through a combination of ethnically targeted advertising, and what people in your family have historically been drinking.
