Wonderful light red. Aromatic youthful wine of bright cherry, strawberry and plum. The wine is light bodied and very food friendly with great acidity. There is a dusty earthiness component to this wine making it complex.

DOCG. Nice bright garnet color. Cherry and raspberry. Very light bodied and refreshing. Light tannins, on the thinner side flavor wise. Slightly peppery. For €1.69 it's definitely not a bad option for a weeknight meal. Paired this with trofie pasta with cheese sauce, tuna, and cubed salami. Went nicely with creamy sauce and salami. Less well with the tuna, tuna became only metallic tasting, but not the end of the world. Plastic cork. The more I drink it the more meh it is to me. It just doesnt hold my interest. Don't bother airing it, it just makes it thinner and waterier.
