Going into it, I had my reservations. The price was on the 'more affordable' side of things, the bottle felt a bit more like five-dollar grocery store material. But that changed nicely in the glass. Pairs superbly with food, we went with homemade pizza and it was a perfect fit. This is an excellent choice for a group event that needs to please a variety of palates, especially at the QPR. It might not do well with heavy protein dishes, but for middleweight Italian fare (pastas, pizza), I think this is a home run.

A run through the Vinturi really made a big difference to this; took away a lot of barnyard/leather and mellowed it out.
