Trentadue Chocolate Amore Red Dessert Wine Half Bottle, Geyserville, CA

The Trentadue “Chocolate Amore” arrives like a velvet whisper—rich plum and warm cherry ganache roll through aromas before chocolate aromas rise without flamboyance. It’s indulgent, yes, but crafted in the spirit of restraint.

On the palate, the sweetness—trapped by the addition of neutral grape spirit—wraps in smooth curves of dark fruit and cocoa. But the finish moves into cedar and dark tobacco notes shaped by neutral oak aging, keeping it grounded. It doesn’t collapse under its own lavishness.

This wine comes from Merlot vines on Trentadue’s Geyserville ranch (Alexander Valley), a place where Italian heritage meets hands-on farming. The art here is port made modest—the oak is civilian, the spirit a handshake between ripeness and pause.

“Chocolate Amore” doesn’t chase theater. It fits in quietly—on vanilla ice cream, a wedge of Stilton, or shared by candlelight. Sweetness is the vehicle, not the destination.

Trentadue “Chocolate Amore”—a little opulence, a lot of grace, carried in structure not sugar.
