  (Montepulciano, Sangiovese, Primitivo, Negro Amaro and Malavesia Nera). Deep red-black
  Super ripe aromas of raisin, dried blackcurrant, Christmas cake, ginger parkin, dried fruits over baked with evident oak spices and a savoury overlay.
  This wine is full-bodied and is a punchy full-throttle wine right through to the finish. The tannins are sweet but thick, the texture is rich, plenty of extraction. Flavours are all at the super-ripe spectrum with black fruits, prune juice, Christmas cake, thick pile carpet, smoke, BBQ sauce, smoked meat, melted demerara sugar and rum punch spices - like Gluhwein! As the wine unfolds the spices accelerate with nutmeg, cinnamon and a balsamic note. All along there is a sour acid underbelly that keeps the wine together but this wine is power over grace. Weighty and purposeful, it was certainly intriguing. Very much a winter wine.

  Cupissimo rubino. Naso decisamente segnato da legno e frutto di bosco, merlotteggiante, poi cuoio, note salmastre, spezie dolci, mentolato. Bocca intensa, ma alcol, acidità e tannino sono scomposti.

  14/20 * * *
  VISUEL: pourpre opaque. Impossible de voir quoi que ce soit au travers
  OLFACTIF: au nez, on comprend tout de suite que l'extraction est au son max.
  GUSTATIF: La bouche confirme bien cette extraction extrême. Le fruits noir dès la première gorgée réjouit avec cette concentration inusité. Mais hélas le vin est aussi lourd que la bouteille qui le porte (pour info, la bouteille VIDE fait 1,2 kg). Cela n'est pas dans ma palette de dégustation : un vin pour dégustateurs de types "B". L'ensemble manque de finesse. Les gros sabots ça salit le tapis....
  ENSEMBLE: Grande déception pour cet assemblage de 5 cépages "autochtones" Montepulciano, Sangiovese, Primitivo, Negro amaro et Malvesia Nero. J'ai terminé mon 1er verre en réalisant un assemblage "maison" en y ajoutant un peu de Yecla d'Espagne et un peu de Vacqueyras : C'est déjà mieux..... Désolé pour les puriste....

  Interesting IGT blend with 5 native varieties (Montepulciano, Sangiovese, Primitivo, Negramaro and malvasia nera) and two Italian regions: Abruzzo and Puglia
  Color is purple, very dark,almost opaque
  Bouquet: Intensely fruity (prunes, blackcurrant). Also some eucalyptus and balsamic notes. Nose then opens to a multitude of nuances
  To the palate: smooth, supple entry, good acidity, then really jammy, dense, well ripened fruit: currant, grapes.
  Tannins are well-integrated almost tamed.
  The fruit tends to overpowe
