Light, acidic, bright food! Slightly tart, could do with some aeration

Herbs and spices on the nose. Light to medium bodied on the palate with cherry notes leading the way. A touch of anise toward the finish. Nice and a nice price.

The description: Deep ruby colour, with purple shadows. The bouquet shows rose, delicate red fruits similar to currant and raspberry, pepper, clove and accents of brush. Medium-bodied, in the mouth is velvety, with hints of cherry, blueberry and licorice, with fresh and energetic tannins.
The opinion: Agee with description, and it’s an excellent wine.

"Expect a rich and layered wine with red with dark berries, chocolate, and spice."

Cherry spices. Med with a bigger finish. Bigger tannins. Almost dry mouth.

Red, Italy, Abruzzo. A nice hint of blackberry and starts a little spicy but gentle finish. Good with my tomato sauce based pizza.
