Intense ruby; strong nose, fruity, red berries, not overly young or ripe. Some licorice. Clean and full body, medium+ acidity, medium- tannins. Alcohol not too strong. Well balanced. Probably good to open an hour before drinking. Liked it more when it was a bit cooler.

My last bottle of this vintage. It is still a delicious blend of Frappato and Nero d’avola. It has nice dark red fruit, black licorice, dried cherries, good acidity and minerality.
Nevertheless, I do sense that the fruit is starting to fade a bit, so I would drink up this vintage soon.

Nice raspberry fruit and some sour cherry, soft tannins, but good acidity. I don’t find the nose to be as funky as with previous bottles. This is very enjoyable to drink, but this vintage should be consumed soon.

Not really my cup of tea. This had VA in too many spades. Next...

Another good showing for this vine. Lots of cherry fruit and acidity. It is very easy to like.
