The nose is a little funky, but don't let that put you off. This is good stuff. Full bodied, but not a big bruiser. Pairs well with pasta and tomato sauce, red meats, roasted chicken, and stinky cheese. The mouth and taste buds will tell you what you need to know.

Fruity. Dry. Pairs well with Italian dishes. Wow. Got this wine for $9.99. I intend to buy several more. Amazing bottle for the price.

Tight nose, but really opens up on the palette. Some red fruit with lots of old world flavor. White pepper on the finish. This is a great QPR!

Simple rustic Italian quaffing wine for drinking with dinner. Does its job well.

It's a great deal. Worth letting it sit open for a while. Straight from the bottle I got some fruity heat. Mellowed out to a smoky nuttiness. Good mouthfeel. Rustic and fun. Love that Negroamaro. Pairs really well with vegetarian/vegan dishes: roast veggies, herb-y omelets, tomatoes, mushrooms.
