A fine Vino Nobile, with lively cherry, oak spice and underbrush aromas leading to a palate that focuses on tart cherry fruit, leaf, earthy minerality. The finish blossoms with cherry and a touch of complementary charred oak. There’s the expected food friendly acidity here, enough to cut heavier sauces, and it’s perfectly dry. Very nice!
