  JEFFBOY nailed it below. I'll just add that I got a little of the italian barnyard thing I like.
  
  PnP. Slight chill. Very light ruby color. M didn't like how it smelled at first saying it smells like poopoo. Later said blackberry pie....
  
  I liked it a ton. Barnyard, slightly stewy strawberry. Not ethereal but really nice, light easy drinking. MMM
  
  *70% Corvina, 20% Corvinone and 10% Rondinella and Molinara

  Simple but classic and refreshing vino di tavola, such as I'd expect to be served at a good osteria. Quite light, drinks almost more like a rose and great with a bit of chill.

  Bottle 1324g. Pale ruby. Moderately intense aromas of tart cherry, something herbal and something woody (not oak). Dry, with elevated acidity, low to moderate tannins, medium-bodied, 12.5°. Refreshing tart cherry fruit, thyme, a little bitterness on the finish. Good with food.
