Tasting Note:April 5, 2016

Beautiful on day one and two. Bright ruby red with a purple hue. Semi-tart on the nose with red cherries and other red fruits. Very complex palate. Tart red berries and black cherries, very refreshing, and crisp. Moderate acidity that carries throughout the entire body/palate. Light to medium bodied wine. Slightly drying long finish that is light in weight. Loved the tart berries and acidity that carries throughout this wine. Beautifully complex with the slightly dry finish.

This wine is made of 35% Dolcetto, 35% Barbera and 30% Nebbiolo.
