A super value quaffer… not a robust Barbera but enough tannins for a great pizza pairing

Well I thought there were more tannins. But maybe it’s the green tea or Mexican earlier?
Regardless. Definitely a thumbs up.

Light and tingly. Pairs with with Defazios pizza. Dry but has enough body to make it interesting.

Dark plum color, musty, blandish nose. Balanced, not sweet nor dry, yet not super juicy. Lots of good grape skin, plum skin bite.

High amount of acidity in the end, but tasty fruitiness in the front. Nice wine.
