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: Brownish-red in color. Smelled of "rubbery chocolate" and more specifically dark chocolate with a high percentage of cacao. Noticeable tannin paired with a tart dryness on the palate. Flavors of dirt and dark fruit. I would pass on drinking this wine again. 

I tasted this without food.
