The cherry aromas fade fast into forest floor, mushrooms, and white pepper. Mostly Niellucciu, which is just Corsican Sangiovese, and just a dash of Grenache, this baby sings. Dusty tannins and slightly aggressive tannins but there’s a wood smoke element that streamlines that funky earthiness. New leather and cigar smoke on the palate along with cherries, dried herbs, and roses. Short peppery finish. Give this a try, it’s another one of those wines that are here just for the fun.

Nose - mineral and mixed berries with a little funk when first opened. Medium body. Flavor to me is predominately strawberry to me. Very nice. Very drinkable.
