When we visited the winery in 2007 and got this wine, Maria Teresa told us to drink it wiith in a few years. So much for listening to the winemaker, but the time in bottle sure didn't hurt this wine. The wine had thrown some light sediment but that was about it.
The nose was an earthy cherry like nose. The taste was a hearthy floral with cherry fruits. The frizzante is a bit offsetting if you are not ready for it but it does put a nice tingle on the tongue. After that first impression, the front of your tongue is hit with a medium but smooth tannic finish.

wine had fizz. Not sure if its intentional but I could not get used to it. It did not taste like it went bad. It tasted acidic. I would not drink again

A dark ruby red color. The nose is vibrant with strawberry and cherries, olives and fall leaves. On the palate a zippy acidity takes center stage and carries cherry, cranberry fruit and earthy oak through the bitter finish that begs you to take another bite. An amazing food pairing wine.

Very interesting wine. Some fizz. Good fruit. After 3-4 hours settled into a good still, red wine.

Actively fizzy but too rich and intense for the liveliness to be an asset rather than something that tastes like a chemical accident.
