  Score is based on what this is - an Italian table wine. It’s a good one. Flavors are rounded. Get red fruit, but also some blueberry notes. On the palette the alcohol doesn’t really come across, but on the nose that is about all you get. Kind of odd.

  Enjoyed this wine with lasagna - deep plum color with scents of light cherry and red fruit - decanted for approximately 15-20 minutes, strong flavors of dark fruit initially, but, not much follows afterward - easy to drink and goes well with lasagna

  Dark ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of bramble berries, purple flowers and fresh herbs. Red raspberry, red currant and red cherry flavors dominate the palate with additional hints of blueberry, roasted nuts and wet soil. Nice savory finish. Very little tannin and a nice amount of acidity.

  Great everyday Italian red. Solid QPR. Paired with homemade pizza.
  
  As others have noted, alcohol is a bit too high on this but it doesn't entirely drown out some nice dark blue/red fruit and some cedar.
  
  Definitely benefits from some air.

  Really good value IMHO. Strawberry, cedar, then blue and blackberries rushed my nose right away. Mossy forest helps these along on the tongue and get joined by dark plum, apricot, a little pepper, smooth tannins and tart acidic cranberries to finish things off. Lively and fun for sure - I'll be buying more!
