Ruby with aromas of red berry fruits and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and red plums with vanilla oak notes. Good balance, rustic tannins, medium finish ending with fruit and spice. Good value.

Il Ducale 2019, red and robust with steak. The label says it is a blend, but of what varieties it does not say. It does say, en français, “moderne, intense, et fruité; une vin de caractère”. We agree.

Great with a mushroom ravioli Marsala sauce…. They called it super Tuscan, I call it Italian red wine

Solid red blend with a bit of spice and some plummy flavors.

All things considered this is great for $15. Good flavor, modest but appropriate tannins and acid with Chianti- like characteristics but mellowed. Would buy again.

this super Tuscan was just okay. Not bad but I’ve had better. Leather, tobacco, and cherry on the nose. So much cherry I think it came across a bit medicinal. Quite juicy, medium bodied. Not sure it could hold up to a robust meal but would be great if you’re looking for a lighter red.
