A dark, dry, tannic and rustic wine, made from this old variety. Very full-bodied, with moo shu plum sauce, anise, black currant and cedar flavors. Like a blast from 100 years ago, the kind of vino rosso the pioneers used to make. Will last for many years.

A good, strong, rustic wine, with firm tannins and low acidity. The flavors are rich and complex, ranging from fresh summer blackberries to dried fruits, cocoa, licorice and briary spices. Nice as a smoother alternative to Zinfandel.
