Veneto, Italy
Concentrated and raisinated. Definitely boozy. Lots of licorice, dried pomegranate seed, black cherry, and currant on the nose. Deep color and flavor on the palate. Not my favorite style of wine, but really delivers some nice complexity and tons of flavor for 15€ in Riva del Garda, Italy.

Great bargain! Nice medium - full bodied blend. A bit dry/intense at the start but softened up after some swirling and sitting for 30+ minutes. Darkish berries up front with a little spice at the end. Funny glass “cork” that took some time to open. Went well with the tomato sauce. Will buy again for spaghetti/pizza nights.

Pretty surprised how enjoyable this was. Not my usual style, but quite delicious. Had some Amarone-like characterics, but also some nice depth and acidity to back it up. High alcohol was mostly hidden in the fruit. Quite nice

Baby Amarone. Previously had the ‘15. Raisins with graphite notes. Great with Loafers and great for 20 bucks.
