  October 28, 2010 - Has some rasination, actually tastes like cabernet. Very much tastes like cabernet. Some smoke. Luigi is 85 years old, family owned business, it is all estate grown, it’s a field belnd of corvina, rondinalla, morillarina. 60 - 70% corvina but changes every year. He dries the grapes in his vented house and he lives in the area. Luigi still farms it all itself and he makes an amarone grapa and drinks it with his coffee and farms. Not bad for $16.

  March 8, 2009 - Slight carbonation of the bottle, along with a sweet, uncharacteristic odour. Not a winning combo.

  February 19, 2009 - Some great assets, but this wine ultimately fell a little short of excellence.
  
  Opened 30 minutes before tasting. Dark ruby in the glass. Big, old world nose of wet barnyard, leather, prune, ozone. Oddly thin and out of balance to the taste: sparklingly acidic high notes of tart cherry and lemon zest, proceeding almost directly to big, dark bass notes of prune, vanilla, and bitter coffee. The midpalate void was really a shame, as the elements that were present were so good.
  
  Definitely best served with some fairly bold food. A red meat or garlicky wild mushroom dish could easily cloak the deficiencies and bring out the positive attributes. The kind of wine that could make the meal, but don't serve it by itself.
