Deep red with berry fruits and spicy notes. On the palate cherry and berry fruit flavors with oaky spice and cacao. Fine tannins good balance, lively acidity with minerality on medium finish. Consistent quality. Nice value. Tasting Sample.

Keep looking and you can find some great values in easy drinking Italian wines, here is another example. Deep Ruby color with black and red berry fruit aromas and spice. On the palate cherry, pomegranate and Berry flavors emerge followed by some vanilla spice and oak. Well structured with vivid acidity, soft tannins and minerality comes together nicely on the medium finish. This is a great value!

Nice with Frank’s Bolognese. Still young, though.

This was just a beautiful medium-bodied bottle of wine drinking in its perfect window. Couldn't ask for anything more. When I have wine like this, it makes me re-think all of the ratings I've given in the recent past.
