A well-balanced blend of Nero D'Avola, Petit Verdot, and Syrah, aged in new barrique for 14 months. The nose is restrained, with a smoky undertone, but the mouthfeel reveals a rich, full-bodied texture, with undertones of vanilla, cedar, and roasted coffee. The tannins are tight and well-integrated, and the abv is 13.5%. A solid, if unremarkable, wine.

Rich, full-bodied wine with a deep, concentrated ruby hue. Its intense nose is led by by suggestions of cherry, chocolate, and leather, with a accent of herbal undertones. On the palate, it's a full-bodied wine with a concentrated texture, featuring intense tannins and a medium level of acidity. The nuances are balanced, with a mix of sour cherry, blackberry, and chocolate notes, accompanied by a mild vanilla and herbaceous undertone. Overall, it's a well-balanced wine that preserves a fresh fruit character, calling to mind of Nero Davola. while it's a big wine, it shines with its tartness and manages to preserve a clean freshness. It's a super comforting wine that's sure to please. However, it's not a perfect wine, and its quality potential is uncertain. I'd recommend it for those who enjoy full-bodied wines with a rich, deep character.
