Hey wine tasters. I picked this up in a local co-op. The Co-Operative (UK) being notorious for discounting wines, placing them on offer, and then banishing the wines from all existance as soon as the offer has finished. Remarkable. This wine however is not. Going on the price guide (was 7.99, reduced to 3.99), reduction or not, it's not a handy gauge of what to expect. It has hints of plum and indeed cherries, but on tasting, theres a very very fast punch of fruits which dies down very quickly and leaves a taste some place between acidic and bitter. Not overly acidic or bitter but somehow doesn't seemed balanced when the fruit had a plush immediacy. Grown in the Piemonte region of Italy, and bottled in Forli I think my Italian wines need to be broadened-but if this wine is anything to go by; I can't say I'm eagerly sitting in anticipation.
Smell: 5
Taste: 6, then 4
Overall: 5 - sampled without food, which may make the difference with a meat accompaniment. Fruity high-end which dissipates too quickly.
