definitely a food wine. Nice deep earthy tones, light oak with fruit overtones. Was a highlight of the evening. Was ready to drink in 2009. I let it breath for 20 minites. Reasonably priced for caliber.

Enjoyed this bottle a lot. Needed a solid hour of breathing to get where it wanted to be, but was delicious after that. Strong and stringent, definitely a food wine. Nice deep earthy tones, oak, and dark almost sharp fruit. There are better ones out there at this price point, but this is good vino!

Dark color-complex aromas of fresh berries, candy, mocha, spice, and rose petal-medium body and soft-very fresh flavors of berries, citrus, and earth with a lingering finish. This is a very fresh tasting wine, good stuff.

Purchased in Italy at the winery. Nice rose petals, tart cherry, and lots of acid. A nice wine, best with food.
