"Le Cince" Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo 2015 from S.A. Nicolleta de Fermo #defermo
One stubborn SOB of a wine, this lasted weeks under Coravin and took a week+ to bring about the fruit...I'd take a nip a few times the first few weeks and nada!
SO if you have one and want to open it the night you have it, oxygen is your best friend: open a few hours before and aggressively agitate-decant it. I even used a blender the first week and that did little to open it up.
NOW, 2 weeks later we are in a good place and is what I expected from this light red, practically rose wine. Good body and density, with shy, though supple and elegant strawberry and cherry. Very well made wine, the rosso I had a few eels ago was very impressive but also took a week+ to reveal itself.

Stora bär, småcitrus, örter och blommor. Något fylligare och matig. Allt man önskar i en rosé! Flirtig!

100% Montepulciano d’Abruzzo
Medium salmon pink. Clear and transparent.
Stuffy, earthy aromas of mushroom, wet logs, forest floor. Slightly vegetal and savoury.
Med plus plus acidity, med low tannin, and med low body. Welcome to the funky town. Floral sensations intersperse with savoury notes and barnyard funk. Fruit profile leans toward red cherry, with a bit of raspberry and strawberry.
Very interesting rose. I have never had anything like this before. Would definitely have this again but with food though. 90.

A dark colored Rose', and one of the best in Italy. Strawberry notes with an earthy feel. Elegant with loads of character.
