In Brief
Again a big seller in Australia and very popular Users comments "It's a ruby red colour in the glass. On the nose itโs earthy yet fresh with red and black fruits and thereโs also a hint of pencil lead. In the mouth itโs soft and subtle with good acidity. Thereโs also a lick of tannin to top it off. A great bottle of Italian red! All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!"
