OK, I didn’t want to like this as much as I do because it’s 15% listed abv, but I do like this a lot. Complex nose has ripe, macerated cherry, dark baking spice, clay tile-like earthiness, a little leather. Soft and full in the mouth, but with nice acids and a nice transparency of flavor. Fine-grained tannins shot through. Clingy flavors turn savory in the second half of the finish. Great pasta-with-red-sauce wine.

Dark cherry, leathery fruit, black pepper, ceylon, anise, rocks. A fuller bodied, brawn rosso that clocks in with higher abv that makes it a touch abrasive. More baby brunello than open knit rosso.

Such a beautiful expression of everyday Rosso. @Zach Locke crushes it again.

Красные горькие ягоды - брусника, боярышник, немного цветов. Вкус чуть более привлекательный, более ягодный. В целом нейтрально. 14.5/20 (83/100)
