  Fresh and bright with nicely developed up front fruit. Wouldn't call it specifically fruity but nice notes of cherry and cola with a good medium bodied density. Moderately tannic. A good food match.

  Very smooth, a bit fruity with a hint of tanic undertones.

  Light fruity with Cherry & Strawberry, white pepper. Medium acidity and complex tannins. Good long finish with cherry, tobacco & oak. Savoury notes that pair well with tomato based dishes or mild cheese.

  From the perspective of a drinker of predominantly big bold wines with a library full of cab, syrah, petit verdot, and tempranillo - and admittedly inexperienced with Italian wines - this is comparatively lighter and very approachable. A fruit-forward, gentle, well-balanced wine with pretty decent complexity, strong black cherry component with hints of herb and earth. Subtle tannins have integrated just enough to hold the structure together for a pleasing if short-lived flavor profile with a quick finish.
