  Color: dark cherry with lighter tinge. Semi-transparent.
  Nose: Light; tart cherry, cranberry. Some vine bark on the back end.
  Flavor: Light fruit profile on the forward - bright fruits, cherry, raspberry, and white cranberry. A hint of Italian earthiness afterwards. The middle brings out some tartness along with some tannins that lightly coat the mouth, creating good mouthfeel. Finish is smooth with a nuanced, long linger which is a surprise, given how light this bottle is. Light to medium bodied. Dry.
  
  This bottle is a nice surprise. Not an overly fruity or earthy Italian red, but instead well balanced. Light, but with some very decent character. Good to drink pretty much immediately after opening. A light airing is all that's needed. Good QPR. Likely to do well with some additional aging but good to drink now.
