This wine is not as heavy or tannic as some Italian Sagrantinos that I've had. Also a bit light in color, but a pretty purple/red. Does have a bit of a rustic characteristic. Tart cherry and some raspberry, plum, blueberry. Lots of earth. Some black pepper notes, cinnamon. Open tight and tart, but it's opening nicely in my Grassl 1855 and really beginning to show its fruit. LOVE the label.

Last July's bottle was the best so far, at least we thought it finally showed some improvement on the way. This one, a lot grumpier. I'm losing hope.

Less tart and more satisfying than prior bottles. Peppery and plummy with a tad of Constant Comment spice. Excellent.

This one seems clamped down a bit and more rustic than the bottle opened last August. Might be getting ready for a nap.

Inky, deep, not super rich but very pleasant. Dry finish with a juicy mouthfeel. Really interesting and worth trying!
