Tasting Notes

This is an absurdly good value for an everyday drinking Italian red. Plentiful plum and dark berry with hints of vanilla oak highlight a wine that seems far more concentrated and suave than is to be expected from a basic regional rosso. This will appeal to the Malbec drinker and Pinot Noir drinker alike. The tannins are smooth and supple and appropriate acidity keeps it from becoming cloying. This is a great wine for roasted meats and with game dishes. This is also excellent with mature and savory hard cheeses while being balanced enough to enjoy solo. This is a heart-warming wine perfect for lovers of rich, slightly off-dry wines.
