  Blend of Aglianico, Piedirosso and Tintore. Not sure the %s of each.
  
  Ripe red cherries, ripe red raspberries, fresh rosemary, wet stone on the nose. Smells fruit-backward with a medium intensity of aromas. The palate is pretty astringent - the condition of the fruits turns to "under ripe". The palate also adds some bitter herbs and oak flavors - mostly cedar wood and smoke. Only a medium finish; but I think it will be longer with a couple more years in the bottle.
  
  Medium body with medium acid and medium + chalky tannins. Still developing. At this stage, it's elegant and light on its feet, but I really want to try one of these with some age on it. If you open it right now, definitely pair it with food.
