Total Wine Review: 94 points Wine Spectator "A powerful, brooding red, with effusive blackberry, plum, leather, spice and saline flavors. A lush texture and ample fruit covers the structure, but there are abundant tannins lurking underneath. The finish picks up earth and mineral elements."

My review: I really enjoyed this complex and full-bodied Italian wine. It was earthy and had mineral notes. This wine was full of blackberry, plum, and red fruits. I would not purchase it for myself at the current price and I do believe the wine spectator was a little overly generous with it's rating.

This wine was tasted without food.
