Mike Supple, JJ Buckley, July 2007

Dark red with hints of brown color. Roasted coffee and black licorice aromas followed by cherry, allspice, clove and black cherry. Bakers chocolate on the palate accented by black cherry notes. Medium bodied until the finish, where the tannins get very bold.

About Winery

In 1309 pope Clement V transferred the papal residence from Rome to Avignon, France. In 1377, when pope Gregory XI moved the papal residence back to Rome, some noble families of Avignon left France to follow him. It was at that time, in Italy, that one of those families became known as Avignonesi - probably to simplify an otherwise difficult, foreign name. Soon the Avignonesi family separated into three branches which settled in Rome, Siena and Montepulciano.

It is not known exactly when Avignonesi's cellars were built, but they are doubtless among the most ancient in Italy. Palazzo Avignonesi was built according to a design by Jacopo Barozzi (called Vignola) in the second half of the XVI century and it has always been the cellars' seat.
