An intriguing nose with ripe dark berries (cassis, blackberry, cherry), spices, salt liquorice and wet stones. Medium bodied, quite acidic and mouth-covering. A gamy and very minerally wine that is not overly complex but manages to compensate the fact with an almost explicit personality. Doesn't need much decanting. Perhaps 1h is beneficial.
This is something I find myself drinking from time to time.

ruby color. cherries and meat on the nose, with a bit of funky pepper. love that negroamaro nose! medium bodied, medium+ acidity with dirty, tangy cherry, bacon and funk. dry, fine tannins and a bit of anise on the finish. went well with pizza with black olives and onions. 13% alc.

Still liking it strong, but it really doesn't need any airing.

little past its prime muted yet smooth, light aroma and flavors.
