A nice slightly acidic Italian red. Not dry and has a touch of acidity. Great wine to serve over dinner, but more so to guests who may not be red lovers. Crowd pleaser.

Very aromatic. Plum jam with some other stewed fruit characteristics without being over the top. Fruit forward but very nice structure with a long finish and balanced against the acidity.
