Winery Review
The aromas are rich and dark, with lots of black cherry and a hint of balsamic. In the mouth the wine is round and energetic, with cherry and black raspberry fruit complemented by hints of damp earth. If you like Sangiovese-based wines like Chianti or our best-selling Colsanto from Umbria, you'll love this! The wine is ripe, fresh, and fruit-driven with a wonderful dash of earthy complexity at the end. Buy it by the case and drink with pizza, grilled poultry, and pasta.

My Review

This wine unfortunately did not measure up as well as the previous red did. It offered the generic smell of black cherries, and a small hint of caramel on the nose but nothing that stood out as exceptional. It also allowed hints of earthy scents to make its way to the forefront. Its flavor was overly dry for my taste and it was too bitter for my liking. I feel like a lot of people could get excited about this wine, but it was not for me.

I did not eat food with this wine.
