Starts with a woody, mossy nose, with background notes of red fruit. The front pallet has a fresh red fruit and grass character, though not necessarily like the thinness of a young wine. A certain fresh, green quality closes out with light tannins and a fascinating strawberry-balsamic after taste. We tasted this one after the Corash, so the tasting could have been impacted by the bold fruit and toughness of its Sardinian cousin. Both were had with Osso Buco and played stunningly well with it.
