Tommasi Arele 2015

Aromas of campfire smoke and spice box open this delicious value-laden appassimento - 70% Corvina and 10% each of Rondinella, Oseleta, Merlot. A satin-smooth flowing river of spice, black cherry, black currant and dark plum coat the palate infusing the deftly balanced finish and aftertaste. This is medium-plus bodied with good weight and a dry, lingering aftertaste - what's not to like? Score - 4.5 Stars (out of 5). (Vic Harradine, winecurrent.com, June 5, 2017)
