Really nice aromatics; berry cobbler, tar, soil. Powerfully structured with smoke, berry, bitter palate. Starts off nice but the lasting impression is something charred and bitter overlaid on some ripe fruit. Like pie filling filtered through campfire ashes. I really want to like this but it's tough on its own and not playing well with lasagne bolognese or quiche.

FWS Campania and more; 10/21/2019-10/22/2019: Smoke on the nose as well with leather and both red and black fruit. Still so alive at 12 years old, could likely live another 10+. Tannin is still chalky with good grip, was probably overpowering when young. Black olive and a slight peppery note. Tasty with great depth, makes me wonder why Piedrosso doesn't get more love

Nice Tuesday night wine, would love to have it aged in new oak over wood tanks.

Dark and medium body. Good but nothing special for the unusual varietal. Wi try again to see if evolves or another producer.....
