Winery Review:
A blend of 60% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, 10% Molinara this bright ruby red wine has hints of black cherry on the nose. It is soft and fruit-forward, with black-fruit flavors followed by a bright and fresh finish. Serve it as the Italians do – young and lightly chilled. Pairs perfectly with fleshy fish, beef, lamb, red-sauced pastas and pizza. (The Vintage Cellar)
My Review: This was an interesting red wine that didn't have a huge nose as I was thinking it would have. The nose has slight hints of blackberry and cherry. The taste was pretty lackluster though. I wasn't a huge fan of the fruity taste. I like my reds with a large punch behind it. I was surprised to see that this didn't have the exact tart finish I am known to like.
