‘… Gino Cuneo: Chasing the Elusive New World Amarone’ - The Pour Fool“I tasted the finished wine, Tre Nova “Seccopassa”, last week and it is absolutely, unequivocally an Amarone. All the hallmarks of the style are there: amazing depth, shocking complexity, viscous texture, and even a few of the flavors of the Italians, despite the vast differences in the grapes.”

‘Harvest Weekend’ – Andy Perdue“Lessons for next year: Thin more heavily. Gino Cuneo of (Gino Cuneo Cellars) in Carlton, Ore., suggested one cluster per shoot. That would probably give me a maximum of 15 to 20 clusters per vine (vs. the 30 to 40 I have this year).”
