Fabulous label. A touch of violet on the nose. It’s rustic, farmyardy and I do like it except there’s just a hint of fizz, which is never acceptable on a red wine. Am taking a picture because the label’s so lovely. The fizz removed its star.
I had 2 of these from a tip-off from our Asst manager at Majestic. I was looking for something rustic and particularly old Italy (elegant Milan was not required), and learning a new one. I'd had these on the rack since August 2012 - Eating Italian out on the patio just did not happen in England last August !
I cracked one in December, the wine is just as Mel has TN'd, yet on my bottle, there was no spritz fizz. I consumed the wine a week before I noticed the article. The wine is quite soft, yet there is enough acidity. It is a full style, purple hue, lots of fruit, lots of matter in the body of the wine, and violets on the nose - the nose is old country Italy
Good mouth feel as no spritz on my bottle. Rustic farm, but not too animal, honest Italian - excellent with many pasta tomato parmesan type dishes
Nice wine for the discounted price, great label on the patio table
Good stuff - note, not dry - medium scale (2-3)
