  This is not one of the better Val di Suga wines that I have tasted. The 2018 is very earthy, and not a great wine. I didn't expect anything great for $18, but I thought that it would drink a lot better.

  Had this wine blind as my friend brought it to a dinner party which we blinded many wines that night and got 5 out of 6.
  
  SIGHT: very Light ruby Beaujolais Noveau level light with orange reflections.
  
  NOSE: A straightforward nose of ripe Cherry and Strawberries woth a touch of spice smells good.
  
  TASTE: MEDIUM+ acid and medium tannins that do nothing grip drinks very easy. This is like Pinot noir how it drinks almost but unmistakably has the Tuscan Cherry throughout the straightforward presentation.
  
  OVERALL: I blinded correctly she’s a baby and found I just didn’t like the lack of extraction it was kinda watery almost too light for this style IMO. While the wine was of good quality clearly enough I blinded it correctly the excessabity is why I scored so high it’s easy could be drank but it’s self and is very tasty so enjoy would recommend!
