2013 Verso Salento Rosso. Big and fruit forward. Chewy but soft grape skin tannins that aren't astringent. Paired perfectly with jalapeño and bacon wrapped doves with bacon jam sauce.

Black Cherry, plum and fig finished with hints of dark chocolate. Bit elevated RS to help balance 14% stated ABV. One of the better value wines i've come across in a while.

For under $13, this was a perfect old-world versus steak wine. Well balanced acidic values and bright red fruit with that medium ok flavor.
