Sappy, bittersweet cherry character for miles. Shows the elegance possible in southern Italian wine.

Fruity cherries, leathery yet soft and lacy. Bright and deliciously softly acidic. Great day drinker and Italian food-pairer for a nice low price. I likey!

Intense ruby color; takes a while to wake up on the nose.
Minerals and cherries on the nose, hinting at the light fruitiness on the palate. Dry to off-dry, but with enough strong notes to stand up to strong flavors.
Paired with gorgonzola pizza.
