Shop/wine critic/winery review - None


My Review - I really like authentic Italian wines so I picked this one up at Total Wine.  The color of this wine was dark purple.  The aroma was heavily spiced with a strong pepper flavor.  The palate was full bodied, overly dry and very tannic.  This wine was rough in my book.  The dryness kind of overpowered it and the strong tannin flavor was just too strong to be enjoyable.  I really didn't even taste much of a fruit component to it.  

Rating 5.5/10 - not the worst wine I ever had, but I was expecting it to be a lot better.


Food - none
