This is a simple Merlot /Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Tuscany.
Dry on the palate and unbalanced.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Showing red fruits with earth, light wood, spices, coffee and peppercorn.
Short finish with fine grained tannins and tangy pomegranates.
Would be better with pizza.

Raspberry on the nose. Nice tannins on the front end evolve with a fruity dry finish. Not your Napa Cab, very interesting.
