  for $11 on sale i can't complain but this wasn't really my style. the barrique influence overpowered any varietal character.
  
  My first full bottle Gagioppo but i couldn't get much of a sense of the grape.
  medium body, nice fresh acid, and a some tannic grip despite the juicy entry.
  
  the nose and palate are dominated by toasty French oak. Ripe cherry fruit with a bit of cola, green herb, and saline minerality but the bready oak masks any real nuance.
  
  that being said, the wine shows good ripeness and nice acidity, but there was nothing unique here for me. Not unpleasant but uninteresting.
