Fantastic purity, the mouthfeel and aromas make me think it has a teeny bit of carbonic. This is a Lazio wine from vineyards south of Rome made from the Cesanese grape and puts fourth a wine here that is part Burgundy, part Gigondas, but very Italian in acids. Bright red raspberry and currant fruits, licorice, mushroom and spice.

Awesome bottle of wine - fresh red fruits, pepper, mineral. This is the type of wine you buy by the case to have on hand for ease of enjoyment. #louisdressner — 9 years ago

Rich, dark color. Medium bodied, light tannins but acid forward with a nice bite. Blackberry and raspberry, bell pepper, a little piney, black olives. Really interesting. From Shawn's. — 8 years ago
