Best Red Italian Variety Wine
Judge 1Leafy and fragrant, some amaro and spice. Lithe, sinewy palate, taut acidity and terracotta tannins. An intriguing wine of inherent drinkability and gastronomic versatility
Judge 2Light and bright with tart red cranberries and a zippy acid that expels flavour to every crevice. A more simple ideation of the variety but one that does it well, nicely woven tannin, well managed shiny fruit and a taught structure and keeps the wine on the straight and narrow.
Judge 3M- garnet. Bright cherry fruit. M+ acidity, fine savoury tannin finish with fresh mid-palate weight. Good linearity
Associate JudgeRed fruit with a menthol note, pretty and delicate. Pal lacks a bit of drive but tannins sit well within structure of wine.
