Medium ruby. Decanted. Earthy, structured. Smooth tannins. Deep dark red fruits. Very enjoyable over three hours, with some development and then getting a bit tired toward the end. (Second bottle; first was corked.)

Had this 5th in a flight of 7 Italian wines from Piedmont (plus two others not in the flight) Nice ruby color. Powerful nose hit of strawberries, cranberries and red fruit and light spice. Medium mouth feel, slight tannins, pretty balanced. Liked it overall, very easy drinker. NOT a good value priced at $39. All of the selections in this flight were similar in structure and characteristics, perhaps that's a Piedmont trait? Must taste more!

Earth and currant on the nose, tannic structure, 10-12 sec finish. Will open up into more fruit I hope.
