  Deep red, dense and full bodied. Black cherry, cherry, earth, wood, a bit of smoke. Moderate tannin, pretty much in line with the full body and deep fruit. Still with that the fruit had some freshness and the palate was nicely alive. Actually reminded me of some weightier Barberas. A food wine for sure, and it was served with pan fried pork chops. I'd say time in bottle has been good for this, and still has some years ahead of it.

  Vinefera Imports Tasting (Giovanni): This is still drinking young. Very accessible and easy to drink. Black raspberries, some tar and smoke. Quite interesting. There are some tannins especially on the back end. Seems to have plenty of life left. Very good.

  This is my last bottle and I am adjusting my rating to 87. It is definitely an interesting wine and I was happy to experience the Piedirosso grape which I was not familiar with. It has a good flavor, just a bit too much on the fruit-sweet side for my taste. New world wine lovers may find this more enjoyable.

  Still very dark, but seemed to have lost a little of its character together with the rough edges, very tasty though with well balanced acidity to balance the dark plum and currant fruit.

  A nice expression of what I think is a New World Italian wine. Very dark in the glass and the overall tasting experience mirrors the visual impressions. Dark fruit and smooth integrated tannins. Paired with Chicken Diandria from Melonie's. A delicious accompliment to our meal. Overall, I would tend to agree with most of the other assessments of this wine. A nice under $20 Friday night wine. Very good and money well spent.
