Ruby, garnet, medium intensity, able to see fingers through;medium to medium plus acidity, medium alcohol, medium to medium minus tannin, little to no oak; Red fruit, cherry, cranberry, lemon zest. White pepper and bay leaf, some slight granite on the midpalate. medium finish. well balanced.
This is a lighter italian styled wine. Really very nice in it's own right. Best $11 bottle I have had in a long while, will definitely purchase future vintages. At 6 years old now, it is right at prime and should be consumed in the short term. Not big enough to really stand up to homemade lasagna but would be right at home with a lighter tomato based dish. 88+
