Don't understand all of the negative reviews of this wine. It is drinking very well at the moment and actually has been above average since day 1. I have been drinking this wine since 2002 and have enjoyed it every time. Definetely made in the old world style with dark fruit, cloves, olives and a little earthy aromas. Palate is dry with earthy notes including dusty earth, sour cherries. Best with food at this point in its life. My last bottle.

This thing is really dreadful. Cloudy, muddy purple appearance. Bitter from excessive extraction and tannin. Stewed fruit. I'm so over Falesco. I once thought of these Falesco wines as good QPR (the vitiano and the Merlot IGT), but the bottle variation and decline in quality generally have left me very cold on this stuff.

Pretty simple but not too bad. Very dark purple.

Dark and full. Drinks more like a cab. Some sediment. Drink up.
