This is an Italian goddess of a wine. Beautifully rich and deep, it’s a nose full of elegant red fruit, with complementary notes of soft cedar spice, wildflowers and powder. On the palate, it’s lively in its translation of the aroma profile, with structured acidity and fine grained tannins that push the finish to an amazing length. You can spend a lot more on Italian wine, but you’d have a hard time finding a better one. A Platinum Award winner at the 2016 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
