IGT. Grape is negroamaro.
Brilliant ruby red color. Aroma is generous and persistent, with hints of ripe red fruit, licorice and spices. Taste is harmonic with good freshness and smoothness, well balanced tannins.
Will age well for 3-4 years. Serve at room temperature.
Wine Spectator - 88 points
A stylish version, with supple tannins and vanilla- and mocha-laced blueberry and boysenberry fruit. This is light to medium bodied, with juicy acidity and hints of smoky mineral and herb carrying through to the spiced finish. Very drinkable. Drink now through 2018. 750 cases made. - A.N.
