  Dull red. Licorice and herbs. Light to medium weight. Crunchy, brambly black fruit, good acidity, minerality, and said herbs with low tannins. I am an unabashed fan of the Abbatucci wines and this one did nothing to stifle my enthusiasm.

  Not my cup of tea, but still a good quality wine & quite enjoyably👍
  
  Beautiful mostly clear bright dark ruby red color... the best it can get 👏
  
  Medium body, high acidity, well felt tanines, nice structure but on the rough side of the spectrum🥺
  
  Nicely aromatic, terroir, red fruits, spices👍
  
  Intense & very powerful on the palate: pomegranate, strawberries, raspberries, cherry, leather, earthy, stone, pepper, licorice, white pepper, anise, ginger, plum, blackberrie.
  
  I prefer more balanced & smooth & less rough.

  Drink over three days. Consistent with notes from 10 months ago, only rounding and balancing out sooner than I expected. Good crunchy red fruit mixed with scattered black fruit, spices, menthol, and herbs. Still a strong tannic backbone, so drink 2023-2030. Technical score: 91. Enjoyment score: 91.

  Nielluciu and Sciaccarellu
  Light color. Nose with red fruits. Parfumés. Red cherries and raspberries. Some spice. Palate is light and fresh. Ends on a spicy note. Very nice

  Wonderful wine. An amazing freshness to the higher tones fruit. local varieties I have never had resembles to me a bit cru beaujolais and mencia. Regardless, this is delicious and would be curious to see how it ages.
