Apparently a blend of 5 Italian grape varieties by Ruffino - but not quite as master crafted as you might expect. A lively fruit forward expression in the direction of rhubarb/strawberry, sour raspberry with perhaps moist earthy things holding it together. Lacking tertiary characteristics. Lacking an overall complexity. A fair value for under $20.
Some dark fruit after a 2 day decant.
