An awfully pure-fruited and pretty red-toned nose of cherry, leather, tobacco, a hint of licorice and minerally tones. On the palate it is easy-going and lightweight with bright, savory fruit expression and refreshing acidity. Markedly lively and enjoyable and of course extremely food friendly. More on the red side of the spectrum with Chianti-esque qualities. Has a transparent and authentic feel to it. Perhaps some roughness on the edges but it’s not rustic, more geared towards elegance actually with its proportions, lift and fruit quality.

Lay & Wheeler Italy Growers' Tasting: Brief notes: Lovely lifted nose - perfumed. Powerful yet poised. Dusty tannins. Tart red fruits and a little tobacco character.
