This amazingly dense quaff is very limited now on the shelf after we did a tasting of it and pretty much sold out of our cases, but i got to say something about it to remember and hunt down for futures.
Its ripe dark nose leads to a palate of thick jams of blackberry and licorice earth and dry truffles. Its so good with its finesse and dance on the mid palate and lingering longlegged finish, it makes you stop to breathe it all in and enjoy the wonderful terroir of the DOC. At $14.99 on the shelf, its a steal of a deal with your favorite Italian faire, hopefully some big piece of somethingsomething.
