  Rustic? Maybe, but lush dark amarena cherry fruit and still pert acids. I agree with a meaty-coffee-chocolate thing here, but this is delicious. Notes of amaro/orange bitters, and a really long finish. 100% (?) Magliocco, fermented in steel and aged 12 month in Allier barriques, 6 months further in bottle. We’ve had a few and I’m sad this was the last. Fun, full character wine from Calabria.

  Meaty black cherries and acidity of red fruit.
  Agree with avp's notes, even 12 months down the road.

  Ruby red.
  Rustic nose with bitter cherry and ripe strawberry notes. Strong meaty presence and a good deal of mocha oak: coffee beans and chocolate.
  Medium bodied and meaty palate with smooth tannins and mid-level acidity. There's really not a whole lot of anything particular on the palate, but there's still perfect balance and decent complexity as well. Velvety and toasty mid-length finish.
  A rather nice young wine with oak only starting to integrate. Still a shitload of fun!
