Gorgeous brick cinnamon color, deep dark briary fruits with dirt rosemary OLD WORLD nose. Love this stuff. smooth, linear, focused in mouth, long finish. The perfect pasta/casual southern Italy food wine. Buy this buy the caseload if you can still find it....wish I could.

Light purple with some brickis tones. Raspberry, blueberry and some greenness. Pomegranite, plums, some tartness, smooth, integrated tannnins, and a medium finish. Very good QPR for $10. These (and other) minor Italian varietals are well worth searching out.

Cherry, cedar and spice on the nose. Medium-bodied with angular tannins and a touch of rusticity on the palate. The '01 was a much better drink, with the '03 just behind the '01 in terms of complexity and overall satisfaction. The '04 is pretty at times, but it's real (only?) saving grace is its acidity, which allowed it to pair satisfactorily with a homemade meat-based red sauce. Looking forward to the '05. Approx $11, drink thru 2012.

The old standby is showing pretty nicely. Plenty of fruit left mixed with some integrated oak and earth. Perfect with pepperoni pizza.

Used for cooking. Tastes as good as ever. Ripe, earthy, lots of life left
