Ghiaia Nera is a finely textured wine. This delicate approach and those soft footprints make this bottle quite exciting to pour, especially as an easy companion to a homemade pasta dish. It offers wild cherry, tart berry, cassis, crushed stone, smoke, and lavender essence. Drink 2021-2025. —M.L.
What We Thought: A light, clear garnet, almost Pinot Noir-like color that implies delicacy which it does not display. Medium-bodied with plenty of ripe red cherry fruit and an almost Nebbiolo-like structure, this is very reminiscent of Barolo.
