  Dark purplish-red color. Medium bodied. Bacon, smoke, and black fruits. Rather simple and coarse; "high pitched" from an earlier review seems very apt. It is a good food wine, but not a great wine overall. Considering the price ($11-12) this should not be surprising; it is still a good value.

  13.5% alcohol. Red cherry color. This is a really pretty, aromatic wine. Lovely aromas of red berry, violets, leather, and lovely earth.

Bright acidity and a lovely, lightly tannic finish. Well done. A-

  Not my favorite. The good news is that it is 100% Montepulciano fermented entirely in steel, so there's no oak and no other obtrusive flavors. The bad news is that the fruit seems slightly high pitched, ultra-dry, and it seems ever so slightly underripe. Fairly simple wine that is stereotypical for inexpensive Italian tablewine. Next time, I'll try the single-vineyard cuvee that sees some oak. I unfortunately can't recommend this wine.
