Rotting berries and cherry juice, I don't know why I want to call this "fluffy" on the mid palate but there you go.

This big complex DOCG red from the Portacomaro d'Asti area of Northern Italy will never be mistaken for anything but what it is a "Big Old World Red". It presents you with a deep ruby colour, aromas of black berries, mocha chocolate and dried apricot. Well worth the hour to open up it displays a pronounced chocolate mocha taste with a hint of vanilla making you feel as if you are in a small Italian village enjoying a light meat dish with friends. At 14% alcohol this enjoyable wine is not to be taken lightly.
