RU? Rosso 2009 (about $15)






About the Wine:  Technically any red blend from Italy could qualify as a Rosso but the Italian government reviews wine blends and determines what can legally be sold under that designation.  The grapes blended to make this wine are not listed on the bottle and the supplier tells us that there is a reason for that.

About THIS Wine:  The purple center fades to a garnet rim.  The nose is very thick and rich with lots of jammy raspberry.  The palate in lighter than the nose and has cherry and licorice notes that fade in the finish.

Drinking This Wine:  Could work as a sipping wine and would go well with sweet meats.

Overall Impression:  This is nothing special, but it is alright and fifteen dollars for a red is not excessive.  This wine is reasonable for the price.
