  This is not a complex wine, but it is, nonetheless, an absolutely delicious wine. Juicy and bursting with earthy red plum, red currants, and iced tea notes. Light and vibrant on the palate and clean on the finish (none of that new world heaviness). A quaffable wine, to be sure, and delicious with pizza.

  As it happens with the majority of Italian wines, it is completely different if you drink on its own or pairing with food. Good on its own, very good with food!

  Ma dernière bouteille de ce beau rouge qui sort de l'ordinaire.
  Peu de trace d'évolution depuis un an. Le vin est encore plutôt jeune et sera meilleur le lendemain de son ouverture.
  
  Belle fraîcheur donc sur fond de fruits rouges, d'épices et de fleurs des champs.
  
  Se maintiendra sans problème encore au moins 3 ans. Servir un peu frais.

  A good bottle of wine, but I’ve had better from Occhipinti. A nice acidity makes it friendly to pair with a wider range of foods. Seems light. Red fruit on the nose and palate. Balanced. Good finish. Tastes Eyetalian. A Louis/Dressner import.
