Ruby-red. Penetrating nose of smoky red and black fruits lifted by an attractive floral component. Simple and easygoing on the palate, with red and dark berry flavors and a hint of candied violet on the saline, uncomplicated finish. This strangely named D.O.C. has always been a local favorite for simple red wines.

Juicy, with a core of vibrant raspberry and boysenberry fruit that picks up hints of underbrush and sea salt on the fresh finish. Nero di Troia, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and Bombino Bianco. Drink now. 100 cases imported. –NW
