Medium-deep garnet. Nose of plums and sweet raisin pie. Medium body with tannins still quite high, tasting of cherries and chokecherries. At its best now.
If someone is seeking to find an honest wine below $10 capable of offering some character of the country it is from, this wine will do it. Simple and straightforward, yes, but still pleasing. Fresh acid with chewy tannins and bright notes of sour cherries and a hint of tomato and dried herbs. A more than acceptable wine to buy if you are trying to entertain a big crowd and cannot spend a fortune. Ideal for Spaghetti alla Bolognese.
Very deep garnet with purple tinge. Fairly strong nose of plums, raisins and cherries. Nice balance of fresh red berry fruit and acidity. Will last another year.
Angiolino Maule, President of the Association Vinnatur, has been crafting natural wines since the birth of his estate in the late 1980s. Made from 90% Garganega and 10% Trebbiano, the grapes come from the volcanic soils of the hills of Sorio di Gambellara. Fresh and zesty yet with an expensive chalky texture with notes of lemon and red apple that are in harmony with a pleasant salty tang and bitterness. Dangerously easy to drink on its own and a great match with pesto pasta.
Medium-deep gold. Nose of bruised apple and cut grass, with a tinge of smoke and sulphur. Light-bodied, very dry and soft on the palate, hinting of lemons and limes but not very interesting. Drink up.
Juicy, fresh with sour cherry flavours. A soft silky texture, well-balanced and well-integrated with a lifted finish. Classically light and fresh. Serve slightly chilled. A blend of Corvina, Molinara, Rondinella and Negrara.
Loads of dark cherry, spice and a hint of fresh herbs. Penetrating, textural and more spice on the finish. A good example of a lighter weight wine with loads of flavour.
