14% abv. Moderno, mas isento de "excessos". Não muito complexo, lembrando frutas vermelhas com sutil doçura, leve canela e cravo, toque terroso e alguma erva amarga. Na boca tem uma decente estrutura com taninos ligeiramente empoeirados e acidez muito bem proporcionada, mostrando boa vivacidade e alguma leveza.. Direto na taça e mais agradável na primeira hora, a partir disso, começou a se revelar um pouco mais doce e enjoativo, evocando discretamente a xarope de frutas vermelhas.

Southern Italy (Lou's): I probably liked this a bit better than the group. Purple in color. The nose has cherries and powdered cherry drink mix. Nice texture. More plums on the palate. Some heat. A nice wine that is ready to drink.

This is a selection of the oldest section of vineyards. In some ways this is the "reserva" of the Grotta Rossa. Plus its got some French barrique and some extra time in bottle.
Smells a bit closed? Or maybe a bit sulfur? Or maybe Carignan's spice note couple with some barrique power. Has some of the sweet cherry barrique note to it. Actually, I think I like the Grotta Rossa more but this was just opened so maybe it will come up.

Very pleasant. Medium bodied with wonderful balance and an exciting mouthfeel. Hints of dark chocolate and a nuttiness cover a solid body of rasberry fruit. Underlying acidity is well balanced and the tannic structure is well done, but flies under the radar.

deep vibrant colour, warm rich spicy nose, interesting fruity palate with a good tannic bite at the end, good wine, thrown some sediment already

Excellent wine. Vivid fruit, mellow with good tannins and balanced acidity. Should be great for the next 4-5 years. Outstanding value.
