Sunday, April 13, 2014 - With left-over Orzo-Ricotta meatballs and marinara sauce.
Pretty crimson, clear, clean, not quite opaque.
Nose shows pepper, dried fruit (perhaps blackberry).
Palate is following the nose, with added touch of anise. Good balance, clean, a bit spicy underneath the pepper (clove?), some power to this one but not over-powering. Better than the Rocca with the meatballs - worked very well with the food. Hit this one at its peak.
