Extremely harsh and tannic. After day of being open it softened but remained a challenge.

Not quite as good as previous years, but still very drinkable

Youthful and light. Dried cranberry and cherry with soft oak on the nose. Slightly tart red fruit on the palette with dried cherry following through. Low in tannin and medium plus acidity. Lean texture and short finish. Great wine with my margherita pizza this evening.

Figured a good, cheap, Italian wine with some Sopranos. Also this feels a little weird. Ben - you're the only person following me. So....I guess let me know what you think.
