Red and dark berries on the nose, spices; quite rich and sweet on the nose. More savoury on the palate, fresh and bright, good fruit, spicy. Not very complex and a bit drying and lean towards the medium finish, but well made and very solid for the price. 86-88

Dark ruby at the core, lightening out to translucence on the rim. Red-fruited on the nose, with a note of alcoholic "headiness".
Nicely balanced, with ripe red & black fruit and nice persistence on the finish. This is an IGT blend with 60% Sangiovese, and the other 40% consisting of Cabernet, Merlot & Syrah.

A superior everyday quaffer that smells and tastes like an Italian kitchen. Great for cooking, and sometimes putting it in the food. :-) A great wine at a great price. 86-87.

Consistent with previous note. Tremendous quality and pleasure for the price. With a little time to breathe it really comes to life. 86-87.

Nice berry smell, a bit of a bitter taste upfront but evens out with a woody after taste. Balance is a little off.
