Sour cherry earth and leather.. Followed by mushroom old cellar and more.. A wonderful wine with Italian classics

From near my house- Viognier, grechetto, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from off the Appia Antica. Natural stuff, interesting for sure.

Nobody makes wines like this in the US. A 50-50 Cab-Merlot blend at 12.5% alcohol with no new oak? Yes, please. Great balance of spice, fruit and earth and very friendly to my plate of hen of the woods mushrooms with lardo.

Solid Roman Cabernet... Relatively smooth with light tannins, light to medium bodied.

Very good but not compelling. Totally different from the Fiorano Rosso.

100% Cab but variety almost unrecognizable.

Tuscany travel research (however this selection is from Roma). Underwhelming 2012 selection. Mild acidity, some tannins. Lacked complexity expected from this Bordeaux varietal blend.

Wow. Remarkably good. This is an Italian 'traitor' -- Merlot/Cab. I vote for variety neutrality. These Italians worked wonders with French grapes!
