  • Palate

    Red fruits with aromas: Plum, cherries, red forrest fruits, strong red currant. Medium tannins but a medium acidity. Feels a bit flat not that great of a body. Some sour and bitter notes on the palate. At the end a small peppery note. Nothing really exiting going on in the mouth.

  • Finish

    Short to medium. Red fruits but still flat and nothing really going on.

  • Conclusion

    A easy drinking Italian red wine that’s very cheap. But there is nothing special on the nose, palate of finish. So I would not recommend this. Even though its cheap and you will have 1.5 liters its quantity over quality. If you have a BBQ and there are a lot of people over that don’t care about quality red wine, this would be a great wine.
