My first taste of this wine, which I found to be tremendously vibrant, almost brimming with energy. The light weight of the wine and restrained notes of sweet strawberry would have had me call out Grenache had I tasted this blind. Not the most stunning wine I've encountered but a lovely accompaniment to lunch.

There is almost an electric aspect to the deep, rich, yet transparent red of this wine. The nose is full of fresh pine needles and wild red berries. Soft tannins with nice raspberry and strawberry notes with pine needles taking over at the end palate and into the finish, which also has a slightly funky note. Tasted at Ristorante Il Verdi in Milan.

Italian wine tasting at local retailer: Garnet, fairly light with nice, bright fruit, tannins well integrated. 88-89
