Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Dark red, with purple flecks and almost opaque in the glass. Aromas of black cherry, pipe tobacco, baking spice and black plum. On the palate, this big-bodied red has a generous helping of red and black berry notes, with some earthy notes, coffee and a touch of mocha. There are plenty of tannins here, but they are silky and add more texture than bite.
