8/2020. Good wine for the price. Bold and slightly earthy. Paired well with spaghetti with red sauce with ground beef.

A wonderful, easy drinking and sturdy Italian red: Punchy in the first nose elements that belies a well structured and complex red. Full flavored with some mature red fruit, stone and a crisp finish. Good glass!

Delicious and dry, classic Italian piedmont wine. Arid and dark cherry fruit, dusty but a bit unbalanced. The acid makes an over strong showing, but not so much a fault as a technicality hereZ

Nothing offensive but not something I'd go back for. One dimensional.
