This darkly colored wine has a nose of earthy cocoa and plum with hints of smoke and dried figs. The nose is beautiful perhaps even exhibiting hints of rose petals. Soft and velvety on the palate with medium to high tannins and acid, but very nicely balanced. The wine is not quite as big as the nose would indicate, but delicious.

Decent. Wouldn't not buy again, but wouldn't insist on buying again.

For under $12/bottle, this is a very drinkable table wine. Very light with a soft finish.

Nice 2011 puglia vintage. Standard dark cherry fruit with leathery palette. Soft tannins made it feel light in texture. Super drinkable. Finished bottle by myself.
