September 27, 2016 - Down to my second to last bottle, and for $9 on sale, this is my QPR wine of the year. Out of 2 cases, I had one (despite DIAM cork) that had TCA, but the others were just flat out delicious, always providing a fresh mixture of red (mostly) and (some) black berries that never failed to please on the nose and at the dinner table. I have been drinking this wine for 10+ years, it's always been a purchase between 1-3 cases per year, and this 2013 is as good as I can recall. A great wine to pour at a casual dinner (or lunch, gasp!) for your friends that have no/little experience with Italian wines; this Brigaldara is indeed a benchmark for quality and tradition, at this price level and beyond. 13,0% abv., just as good on night 2 as it was when first opened. recommended
Served non-blind; I love the range/versatility this offers for food pairing
