Pietramerana
Governo all'uso Toscano Super Tuscan Blend
Tuscany, Italy
Dark garnet purple. Inviting nose and medium full palate of… you guessed it… dark red cherry with a hint of raisiny vanilla. Medium acidity. Medium minus tannins after some air. Classic easy drinking Italian made in the same way as Amarone, only without the price. Great with pizza or a light Tuesday night meal. Drink now.

A Tuscan IGT wine. No info on the blend or vintage here, but the back of thr label suggests that a percentage of dried grapes are used. Maybe Sangiovese and valpolicella. I'm guessing a bit of merlot is present as well.
Nose is simple with red cherry and a bit of tomato leaf. Sweet red cherry on the palate. Medium tannins lend a bit of support, but this fades quickly. I'm generally not a fan of the apassimento style, and this comes out a bit sweet and simple for me as well. The simplicity would make it pair well with a wide variety of foods. I originally rated this a bit higher, but after eating dinner and being unable to finish a glass I dropped my score. Beware if you do not like sweet or fruity wines.
3/22/3/3/2 +50 = 83 pts.

Probably the best $6 wine I've bought. Can't complain
