Delicious friendly wine with a bunch of declassified indigenous grapes from northern Piedmonte. Raspberry underripe cherries violet and a note of watermelon jolly rancher. Similar notes on palate. Very affordable sub 40 on a restaurant list.

Layered and complex without being too powerful or rich. Really fresh fruit in palate.

Juicy fruit punch, black pepper, violets, underbrush. Mouth coating gritty tannin that settles with time open, racy.

Day 1: berry nose. Thin texture, light body with deep purple color. Slightly perceptible dry spiciness.
Day 3: purple berry flavor intensified, tannins smoothed out. Spicy, cinnamon-y nose with a juicy, long finish.
