Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Founded in 1995 by a consortium of prominent Italian winemakers, including Alberto Antonini of Antinori and Antonio Morescalchi. Deep Ruby with full ripe black fruit nose. On the palate cherry and jammy blackberry flavors with notes of cacao and pepper spice. Fine ripe tannins slightly acidic on medium length ending with spicy notes.

Impossibly good for the sub-$10 price. Flowers and herbs and crunchy red fruit. My new go-to.
