Revisited a dear friend last night. This stuff is Central Italy stuffed into a bottle. Earthy, dusty, perfect red fruit character. Montepulciano on top of its game.

Smells like plums and cherries. Dark fruits. Orangish red hue like African clay. High acidity. Alcohol is a bit overpowering on the aftertaste.
