Super pretty and easy to drink. Not the most structured edition of this wine, and with fewer of the spice notes it often has, all of which leaves the fruit front and center.

So, very few people would take a first sip and exclaim, “clearly a Monica, perhaps with a bit of Bovale blended in.” Regardless, this is just a fantastic food wine that’s self-evidently Italian, even if you need to go to the label to get the details. At $18, the kind of bottle that makes wine fun.

Gobs and gobs of pretty, fresh, high toned red fruit on a nicely Loire-ish frame. But some VA, as well, at levels that are definitely obtrusive.
