Love good value Italians! This (2017)will be excellent in a few more years, but was drinking quite well even now. Juicy and tart red fruit up front, bright tomatoes, a touch of fennel, paprika, earthy funkiness too. It was an excellent pairing with a beef short rib pasta sauce. I will be hunting down more bottles to add to my rotation.

Cloves spice and slightly sweet, dark chocolate and black cherry flavor, smooth, dry, and easy to drink. Pairs very well with bolognese.

Same notes as last bottle. Still young but with promise in the short to medium term. Quite good for the money.

Roses and cherries. Fruit is very pure but this finishes slightly hot. Still fairly tight. Built for aging.

Tar, roses, grippy tannins. I assume this will age well for many years..

Red cherry, roses, hint of anise and cotton candy. Great acid. Really grippy tannins at such a young age.
