This might be THE most refreshing red I've ever had not only from southern Italy, but perhaps all of Italy. Like Beaujolais in Calabria-- but with a more intense shimmering berry character, and a chiseled mineral driven tannic structure that feels like chalk on the palate. Incredibly interesting and delicious for the price.

Oct 23rd, 2014Randomly scored this vintage, I like this even more than the 2013. Effervescent cherry funk with olives.

I think this is garnacha. On opening is young and effervescent. Develops tannins. Some cherry. Some vanilla.
