“This wine unfolds with flavors of dried cherry and plum speckled with notes of crunchy wild herbs. Twenty percent nerello cappuccio deepens the color and the fruit tones, though the intense ripeness is indicative of 2017’s heat- and drought-ridden growing season. The wine reads a bit like a rustic Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and is a match for robust lamb and beef dishes.”
