•Critic Review: Fermentation of selected grapes in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. Aging in American oak casks for 5 months followed by 3 months in the bottle before being released in the market. Inky ruby. Ripe cherry and plum on the nose. Smooth and fleshy, with deep dark fruit flavors complicated by bitter chocolate and anise. A spicy quality adds lift and focus to the weighty fruit.Offers an appealing mix of power and energy and drinks very well right now.
My Review:This wine was smelled purely like plums and cherries. It tasted very dry and also fruity but had a hint of chocolate. At first I didn't notice it, but it was most definitely there. I liked this wine, but not as much as the last one from Abruzzo.
No food was eaten with this tasting.
