Bright ruby/purple colour with cherry, blackberry fruit and pepper on the nose. This release is a somewhat lighter-bodied style than the 2012 wine, more in the traditional style of those produced in Italy. The palate shows hints of tar, chocolate, plum and spice with a firm, dry finish and soft tannins. The earthy notes are a delight when this wine is paired with savoury dishes. Tasting note from Rolf Binder
