Probably one of the darkest and ripest Italian wines I have ever drunk. Dark Ruby. Nose of plum jam and ripe cherries. A full bodied crowd pleaser for western palates and for those who love big wines. I dare say wines like this would not have been made in Italy 20 years ago. Large %s of Primitivo and Montepuliciano. Short term keeper with low acid and medium + tannin structure.

Hedonistic and rich. Amazing body, beautiful balance, spices, dark fruits, and soft tannins. So sexy.
