Oh, won't you take me home tonight
Oh, down beside your red fire light
Oh, and you give it all you got
Fat-bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round.

Very rounded, full bodied, soft, sloppy and fun. Enjoyable to drink but loose in its flavor profile.

Light on it’s feet, nice acidity and delicacy of Rufina .Not a ton of funk but no trace of the barrique. Poured out an hour or so before Amatriciana.Delish.

Has the acidity typical of a Chianti, with dark red fruit and stoniness.
