70% Corvina, 25% Rodinelo, 5% Molinara blend. Good value wine, a bit on decline. On nose shows a good balance of red and black fruit, nuts and some flowers. On mouth it's gentle, a bit acidic with a medium body and a fruity palate, a lasting and enjoyable finish with a mineral aftertaste.

Fruit, berries, mineral, pepper...a lot of pepper on the front palate as well...should decant if young...should also cellar a few years. This one might be better 5 years from now...

Nice ripasso wine for under $20. Nose has hints of berries, flowers and herbs, which turn to red licorice and mineral on the palate. Medium-bodied and lightly firm, with a good core of fruit and a chocolate-tinged mineral finish.

It is ripasso, though totally boring ripasso. There are much, much better examples of ripasso at the same price point, I will not buy more of this wine. Acceptable, but boring...
