ROBERT PARKER Wine Advocate (Antonio Galloni)

2007 Raccaro - Isonzo Rosso   89 pts   If I had to choose just one entry-level, representative red from Friuli, I might very well go with Dario Raccaro’s superb 2007 Rosso. This blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon offers up juicy red berries, flowers, grilled herbs and licorice with no hard edges and lovely overall balance. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2013.

Dario's enolgical credo is: "rather than making a technical wine, I'd rather make a rough wine" His wines always have great character and perfectly represent the varietals; they are obtained with minimal intervention in the cellar.
