Wine Review: This dark purple wine opens with a nice black cherry bouquet with hints of oak. On the palate, this medium bodied wine is nicely balanced, slightly acidic, and has very enjoyable cherry flavors. The finish is dry, shows some acidity, has some oak, and lingers for some time. This wine is one of the best Italian food wines that I have tried in the last few months. It would complement a chicken or veal parmigiana meal quite nicely. Enjoy – Ken
