Savory berries and cherry, dried roses, thyme, some anise, soft and mellow without much tannins but still pleasantly bright. Love it. From Botta di Vino in Red Hook. — 8 years ago

Reminds me of a Pelaverga di Verduno with a bit more fruit on it. — 10 years ago

According to the winery, Pelaverga is a rare, indigenous variety, found in the village of Verduno in Italy's Piedmont. As it opens, with a sort of mounting energy in the glass, a melange of white pepper and flowers followed by brambly fruit—in this case it's the spice and floral character that dominates. The nose is far different from the mouth, which is rather more dainty than expected, with all of the poise of a cold climate Pinot Noir. That spicy character reemerges at the close, intensifying with each passing moment. 13.5% ABV — 7 years ago

Anselmet Petit Rouge 2012. Such an alluring nose of sweet red fruits, balsamic, and smoked plum. Dear Jesus I love this grape when it's done right. And Anselmet does not play around. It's never heavy or serious but instead an unbelievably compelling vin de soif. Really reminds me of Pelaverga at times, or maybe a Cerasuolo Nero d'Avola / Frappato blend. — 10 years ago

Such light color! Wasn't sure if this was wine at first. Aromatic, juicy, white pepper - just enough tannin to hold it together. — 9 years ago
