Floral nose of roses & violets along with some red fruits & anise; nice sour cherry on the palate and finishes with some grip. Hit the spot when looking for a slightly weightier wine for my generally light-wine lovin' palate on this chilly winter night!

Love this savory, juicy Italian inspired red. It's easy but interesting and has some grip.

Fleshy red berries with a silky texture & fresh acidity. Not too many new world blends of Piedmont red grapes & this delivers the same approachable, easy drinking pleasure of a good Langhe Rosso.

Grip- like a drunk Spider-Man. Taste- like a bed of roses. Sour Cherry. Acidic but kept me salivating.

Seems a little too tart to enjoy on its own. Much more enjoyable with food.

Bright acidic cherries and tobacco - tannic backbone sneaks in at the end. Crikey but this is a fine wine!!

Mendo Rosso that tastes like the Langhe. Starts as a fruity little number, but some grippy tannins show up to the party. Very nice. 60% Dolcetto, 30% Nebbiolo, 10% Barbera.
