Thursday, April 4, 2013 - Good acidity up front, a good zing. Light, red and mid-red fruits and given some apparent weight by a hint of darkness maybe tar or liquorice. There are also some light sweet tannins on the mid-late palate. Not long, but the zip of the acidity stays with you. Very pleasant. Again, not thin or green at all, nor any hints of the sourness or other faults in some cheap wine.

A little more zing than the Palastri Sangiovese di Romagna at the same price, more dimensions, a more open palate, but with a some dark tar or liquorice, rather than the fuller re-purple "front" palate fruit of the Palastri. It's a bit more subtle than the Palastri, but they're both great value

Very good indeed for the price. A fine everyday drinking wine. At 4 quid. usually at twice that, and decent value for 8.
