dainty sour cherry on the nose; then a big jolt of fruit which is quickly swallowed by the rather unidimensional and seriously acidic mid-palate and finish. the wine has lots of verve but it doesn't quite come together into a fully satisfying package. maybe with a little more airtime (or bottle age) it will improve . . .

Had with some pasta with a spicy sausage red wine and tomato sauce. This is delicious, crisp, lots of acidity, bright cherry and plummy fruit, everything you would want for in a $10 Italian. Really shone with the food.
