  Simple but fun. Sweet dark fruit, candied berries with a refreshing acidity and noticeable earthiness. A little bit of RS I think, but tempered by the tannin and acidity. Fantastic food pairing with tomato sauce pasta.

  Not the amabile but the dry version: very fruity and pleasant appetizer at only 10%

  Inky purple and slightly effervescent in the glass.
  
  Some crushed berries with an off dry finish that has only a slight bit of sweetness. Not overly complex, but perfect with food or a night on the back deck.
  
  Paired with PEI oysters and it was an awesome match.

  Poured at an "Italian" Thanksgiving gathering; paired with mini-meatballs with sage and pine nuts and a cranberry chutney on the side.
  The frothy, juicy, amabile wine was a perfect match. The fruit was a good match for the sage and a perfect foil to the tart berry flavor of the chutney.

  Wait. I don't have tasting notes on this already? Okay. Nose: a little Easter-egg-vinegary to be honest. Not gonna lie, the nose is pretty meh. Palate is good and dry though - this isn't a girls-night-out sweet candy Lambrusco. Dark cherry, strawberry, plum, blackberry and something weirdly tropical like starfruit. It works. I dig it.
