Rustic, countryside. Woodsy cherry, with sweet raisins, dates, and a cedar core. There are roses and tar and other dusty notes on the periphery.

Powerhouse of flavor, with grippy tannins and a little bit of heat (14.5%) on the swallow. — 4 months ago

Cool label. Folk art vibes and a fancy crest. Lovely color. Slightest rust in the red rose petal paint palate. Aroma is slightly musky with a floral element. Zinger Tea. (That’s rose-hips). Flavors are herbs and citrus peal. Some berry Danish. Very Italian flavors. Clean and clear on the tongue too. This is a nice flavorful classic from the hills of the Italian countryside. — 3 years ago

This wine reminds me of your cool aunt taking you on a ride to the countryside in her sweet little Mazda Miata and bringing a road lunch of mortadella and baguettes and some lemon tarts for dessert — 7 years ago

Barbera as it should be. Generous, rustic, intense, honest. It's a wine that looks at you in the eye, speaks of rolling hills, countryside, farm animals and good values. Beautiful nose and excellent length. The great work in the vineyard shows glorious in the glass. Enjoy with no limits ! — 7 years ago

Shoe polish peppery. The bouquet reminds me of a musky, spicy, fragrant cologne my grandfather might have worn in the early 90s.

Takes me back.

Licorice, black cherry, and just a hint of banana peel in the bouquet.

At first taste:

Woah. Flavor bomb.

Rich. All this fruit you don’t sense in the bouquet comes alive. It’s as if you’re berry picking on the French countryside, popping handfuls of mixed berries into your mouth at a time.

$11.99 at TJ. This is a steal.

I’m on a Sangiovese kick (as that’s where I fell in love with wine). This is by far the best I’ve had in recent memory. Full, high tannins and that deep cherry and earthy Italian countryside taste. Highly recommend. — 5 years ago

A blend of 80% Petit Rouge with the rest from Vien de Nus, Doucet, Fumin, and Mayolet - grapes I’m totally blind to. It’s beautiful and speaks the language of the rustic Italian countryside. It has the power, transparency, and boldness of Nebbiolo, but with cool dark berries instead of bright cherries and leather. — 6 years ago

Literally driving into their cellar in the Burgundy countryside through a tunnel in the side of the hill was an experience I won't forget. We did a nice underground tour of the operation and tried three or four of the wines. This one I found to be a very approachable style. I won't get into what it's not, which is tempting here. This is a sparkler that would be suitable for most any party. The focus is on the fruit here while still a dry style. I don't pick up much from the yeast, but for a dry, simple style at a reasonable price, this one's a winner! — 7 years ago

Violet, Barney purple. Aromas of cedar and cinnamon. Tanneries and countryside. Cloves and boozy watermelon.

Dry, tannic, muted acidity. Herbal quality. Nice, but waiting for it to open up. — 3 years ago

Big pastry guy as you can see. This baby never stays empty.

The wine seller calls these grapes “happy grapes.”

Plummy, rich, dark, sweet like licorice and cedar. A forest perfume of pine.

They’re definitely happy because I’m happy. This is a succulent, rich wine. A lot to enjoy. A good rouse between tannins and acid on the palate, in a good way, like an entertaining joust, a rumble in the ring, or the bull and the toreador. This is the downs I imagine Hemingway drinking from the bottle at a spontaneous picnic on the Spanish countryside in his real life The Sun Also Rises.

Dry, but not leaving you puckered and wanting more, just the right balance with a creamy mouthfeel of silken roses to follow, lingering on the palate like the twirl of the toreador’s cape in the ring. — 3 years ago

Summer cocktail disguised as a wine. This is actually made with Riesling and I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. Very fruit but not too sweet to consider it a dessert wine.
The setting was idyllic: sitting on the winery’s porch with a summer breeze with the mountains in the distance. I brought a bottle back for the office to try so it’ll be interesting to see if this still holds up without the countryside surroundings. — 8 years ago

molto bene! SO GOOD! Partially repasso style Veronese Corvina blend with great aromas taste and balance. Figs, cherry, undergrowthn the perfect touch of oak. Think Italian villa in the summer and you go through a countryside stroll. Undergrowth, and fruit forward. Balanced juicy, thick, and full bodied. TOP buy for round $20 — 8 years ago
