  We have another auction winner here. This isn't complex or deep, but it is delicious. There are simple flavors of dark berry and funk along with substantial acidity. This needs food.

  Wife and I disagreed about whether or not the bottle was flawed, or if it was just a bad wine. I think it was just a bad wine--nondescript nose, poorly defined palate and zero finish.

  Somewhat bland but nice and dry. Would buy again.

  No more debate from me: Italian food deserves Italian wine! Took the bottle to Sicilia en Bocca and had with Swordfish pasta and Sausage pasta; a great full set of aromas including a deep berry, full blueberry-blackberry flavors on the palate, and a clean dry finish with a subtle, dry berry aftertaste. A flat, dead wine with the wrong food, but a complex, delightful wine with the correct pairing. I know; I'm late to the party, but I've arrived. Yummy.

  As long as this wine is in your mouth it is full of intense, slightly tart, red berry flavors, but don't look for much before or after. With a cheese and cracker and apple lunch, there was no nose and only a clean, perhaps cleansing, finish and aftertaste. Use it wisely, I think. The bottle suggests pizza.
  
  Not with grilled lamb chops; fades to little more than acidic tartness. This is a light, fruity Italian wine for Italian food, like pasta or pizza. Use it with the right food.
  
  Had with pizza: That's what it's for. Cuts through the salty cheese with nice berries. No subtleties needed.
