Dramatic Bass - It is, of course, the lowest and 'darkest' of the male voices and there are characteristic basses in serious operatic literature that are distinct from the comic bass or basso buffo roles, or eve the lyric bass. German literature has Hunding and Fafner in The Ring, King Mark in Tristan and Gurnemanz in Parsifal. |

St. Julien, CHATEAU LEOVILLE BARTON, Bordeaux, 1997
A dense ruby-purple colored wine with good structure. The wine has a soft middle, but noticeable tannin. The sweet nose of peppery fruit and black cherries, intermixed with toast and cassis is alluring. |
The Bass Baritone voice is the voice with a range between that of the baritone and the bass and referring principally to the requirements of the German repertoire, roles like Wotan in The Ring, Hans Sachs in Die Meistersinger and the Dutchman in The Flying Dutchman. |

Nero d'Avola, PLANETA "La Segreta", Sicily, 2003
Intense aromas of raspberry, blackberry and strawberry. Light, pleasant spicy notes of cinnamon and clove blended with mossy notes and a hint of chocolate and mint. Supported by a sweet and ready tannin, strong acidity but well balanced. |
