Professional Review: A beefy, herb-tinged red, sporting dense layers of plum sauce, grilled fig and currant paste, stacked with notes of roasted game, rosemary and hummus. The finish lingers, despite noticeable tannins. Gaglioppo, Greco Nero, Nerello Cappuccio, Magliocco Canino and Sangiovese.
My Review: Out of this bunch, I would have to say this wine was my least favorite. I had a very woody smell. It reminded me of the ground of a wooded area during the fall or winter. I tasted a lot of tobacco, smoke and cigar. It didn't have a lot of texture and almost no finish. I had this wine at a tasting without a meal.
