Oh dear... decided to splash out a whole four quid on this after seeeing thet Planeta were responsible for "selecting" the grapes in this, whatever that means.

Perfectly respectable, but so boring it makes me cry. Yes, it has some of that spicy-cherry NdA character, but clean, pure fruit-wise not a patch on the Cusumano that Oddbins (used to?) do for very little more.

Why do they bother? I'll spend 8 quid on Planeta's La Segreta when I'm in a black Avola kinda mood...

Have you tried the Selezione Oro Chianti yet?

No, I decided to give it a miss and get a tried and tested Salentein instead, along with the NdA (most of which hit the kitchen sink the next day) and their new GV, to make up my 20 quid and get 3 more off with a voucher. God, what a tart I am...
