Shop Review: The aromas are rich and
dark, with lots of black cherry and a hint of balsamic. In the mouth the wine
is round and energetic, with cherry and black raspberry fruit complemented by
hints of damp earth. If you like Sangiovese-based wines like Chianti or our
best-selling Colsanto from Umbria, you'll love this! The wine is ripe, fresh,
and fruit-driven with a wonderful dash of earthy complexity at the end. Buy it
by the case and drink with pizza, grilled poultry, and pasta.
My Review: The initial smell I got from this wine was a bit of vegetables, like broccoli and peppers in a salad. When I read about the label mentioning it had balsamic, it did remind me of what I tasted, almost like a dressing with a purely vegetable salad. I could also feel a bit of an earthy smell, like dirt. The taste itself was black currant with a hint of black pepper. The after taste hit me with wet rock and I wasn't quite sure how to feel about it. Overall, I think I might prefer this wine with food.
I did not try this with food but I would like to try it with some pasta or pizza!
