Winery 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 did not smell good to me, it smelled like cherry. After tasting it, I did not enjoy it as well. The aftertaste was bitter and seemed to linger in my mouth. It was also very oaky.

I tasted this wine with no food.
