  Have consumed 2 of 4 bottles bought. Soft, approachable, nice fruit-acid balance. Not complex, but a clean finish. Would be great with pizza!
  
  I've had several bottles of different vintages, back to 2013, of another of this producer's offerings: Vigna Franca. The other style seemed to need age. This one was just right after 30 minutes of air. The price has also gone up by about 50% in the last 18 months from $13 for the 2017 to $19 for the 2018, so look for Limited Time specials.
