A little tight at first, but once it opened up this was a delightful wine. Light bodied and low alcohol, with tastes of cherry and blackberry.

Medium ruby in color. The nose shows cherries, red currents, and violets. This wine is dry with medium tannins and medium-light bodied. This wine is great with lasagna. 8.5 out of 10.

A bit sour to start, but opens up to a nicely mild Chianti that paired poorly with the minestrone, but well with the pizza.

Warm, tanninic, red berries. Best served cooled. Goes well with pasta.
