Expert Review: A blend of 60% Corvina, 30%
Rondinella, 10% Molinara this bright ruby red wine has hints of black cherry on
the nose. It is soft and fruit-forward,
with black-fruit flavors followed by a bright and fresh finish. Serve it as the
Italians do – young and lightly chilled. Pairs perfectly with fleshy fish,
beef, lamb, red-sauced pastas and pizza.
My Review: This wine had an orangey red color with a nice
sweet aroma. The butterscotch and caramel were strong on the aroma, reminding
me of hard candies. When moving to the taste, this changed drastically. The
medium body turned to dryness in the aftertaste. The cranberry undertones
dominated but left a gritty sugary feeling on my teeth.
Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at
the Vintage Cellar.
