Terrific. Classic cherry fruit, good acidity. Balanced tannins and very mild oak. Tremendous value. Had another bottle from Greve (Il Carbonaione) the following day at about $10 more, and although that was very good as well, this leaner style of La Maialina is much better with food and my sort of Chianti.

Good stuff here. Juicy fruit merlot comes on. Then darker tobacco finish. Kicked butt with a grilled burger.
