If a wine smelled like cherry cola spilled on a box of Crayola Crayons and it’s a great thing.

Cherry, plum, leather, earth, soft tannins, accessible young, one could even say middlebrow. Very nice table wine but not exactly a value

The 2016 Bramaterra Cascina Cottignano is bold, ample and super-expressive, although it is going to need at least a few years in bottle to be at its best. Even today, though, the wine's depth and overall resonance are both apparent. Dark red cherry, plum, spice, rose petal and earthy notes all flesh out in this potent, exotically rich Bramaterra. The 2016 is flat-out gorgeous, that's pretty much all there is to it. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, April 2020)

Rich mefium Ruby color and a perfect balance of black fruit, tar and earthy violet. This is a lovely, elegant red that is light enough to go with fish and flavorful enough to stand up to a spicy ragu. Total win
