$8.09 WOW!! What a surprise this wine turned out to be! Not a huge Italian fan but this wine rocks! Smooth, full, soft tannins, not too much fruit. Will definitely be buying more.

Did absolutely nothing for me. Left little on the palate to speak of.

So disappointed that Italian wines aren't better known. This little gem was $8 and tasted better than bottles 2 or 3x that price. It's a 2014 vintage, maybe that matters? Wonderful with a spicy sauce and stands up to rich foods but doesn't fill you up. Notes of oak, earth and cherry.

Delightful, surprisingly complex with long finish. Let it open for a half hour.

Very light--fruity, but not overly so. Not a very long finish; slightly acidic. Overall a good, easy to drink wine--I'm thinking it might go well with pizza on a weeknight. Great value at $7-$8 a bottle!
