Red berry fruit and spice on the nose. Very fruity and easy-drinking with a medium body. Excellent value.

This is my favourite el-cheapo of the moment -- well of the year. I'm not sure about the length, and there ain't a lot of complexity here, but we're talking $7.85 a bottle, right? It's medium bodied, smooth, not too fruit-forward, and, unlike Farnese's other value leader, the Sangiovese, it's not so acidic and fine either with food or on its own
