About the Wine: Italian winemakers have been experimenting with new blends and varietals in recent years. Super Tuscans, Red Bordeaux Blends, Merlots, and other concoctions have resulted, some quite wonderful.
About THIS Wine: The purple center fades to a garnet rim. Earth and musk are prominent on the nose. Dark fruit defines a palate that is pleasant but lacking complexity. The finish is dry with hints of spice.
Drinking This Wine: This would go very well with lasagna or seasoned lamb.
Overall Impression: I have insulted the products of the distributor who brought this so frequently and thoroughly that, when he has a supplier he really does not like, he brings that person by the shop for a dose of bile. For once he brought a winner. This wine is good for the price.
