Country: Italy
Year: 2011

Winery review: With a ruby red color and with intense purplish reflections it has a nose of red fruits like cherry, raspberry, and blackberry, to spices like marjoram, rhubarb and white pepper. On the palate it is pleasantly fresh, not too heavy, with sweet tannins and with soft herbaceous notes, which are the traditional characteristics of the Cabernet-Franc.
My review: To start off, this smelled deep, and purple. Image the color purple in smell form, it is this. I know that sounds stupid, but it makes sense when you smell it. There was some spice to it and what I think was pepper there too. The taste was deep and woody with a pepper aftertaste. There was no fruit in the flavor whatsoever and had a bitter end. If that is what you are looking for then go for it, otherwise eh.
I did not have this with food.
