Surprising for the wrong reasons. Exploded like champagne when pulling the cork. Clear, unintended in-bottle secondary fermentation. Undrinkable. Natural product but clearly an issue with winery management processes and the vintage.

Demands food. Paired with stuffed peppers. Red and black fruits on the nose. Seems a touch “sweet” for a dry red blend. 50/50 merlot and magliocco, and i confess i have never heard of magliocco. To google i go.

A previous review noted that their bottle had fermented again. That may be the case here as well. When the cork was pulled there was a subtle, but noticeable, pop. I poured the wine into a decanter and halfway through noticed there was about 1/4” head of foam on it and it was fizzing vigorously. As I write this 10 minutes after pouring there is a continuous production of CO2. It looks like it’s fermenting now. Taste is like carbonated grape juice. It’s a throw away.

Softening and filling out with more aging. Still fruity and lively with a pepperiness.
