My first Italian Cab. Interesting! But I can’t say I love it. Somewhat vegetal nose. Earthy, metallic and mineral with good acidity. Dark fruit and some prune. Grippy tannins. Very long finish. Big 14.5% abv. It’s a well-made wine, just not a style that calls my name. A little too dark and heavy. I might like it better during the winter, so I’ll save my other 2 bottles. Having it with very un-Italian teriyaki salmon and ginger-garlic bok choy.
