Just a beautiful bottle. Macerated sweet blue fruits and wild flowers on the nose right from the open; the taste profile follows up tangy wild blueberries, hint of lavender. Fully evolved, balanced and lively -- the best bottle yet and just a pleasure to drink.

Found this on two different wine lists in Italy so far on this trip, for $30 Euro. A GREAT value at that price. Black fruits, sharp, balanced, light enough for summer drinking, especially if you (gasp!) keep it on ice next to the table when it is 100 degrees outside at the restaurant. Delicious.

I love it. Bitter and dense and fruity whilst remaining quite balanced. It's not a delicate elegant wine but its long length and rich mouthfeel more than make up for its lack of subtlety.
