Medium Ruby color with aromas of ripe berry fruits and floral spice. On the palate flavors of ripe cherry and raspberry, lively floral spice, herbs, nice balance with savory fine tannins on a medium finish ending with a nutty mineral character. Easy drinking.

Bright, almost neon color is striking. Scent is all pleasantly earthy and meaty. Taste is more meat and leather nicely rounded with red fruit and a slight savory brine. Has low to end acidity with a soft tannic pull. Delicious. Reminds of a Corsican wine I had recently. Will buy again, no question.

Works best with heavy bolognese and trofie. Sour cherry and mineral on the palate.

Ready to drink now. Had a very bloody quality to it, almost iron-y, metallic, for better or for worse. A bitter cherry finish.
