2007 Statti Gaglioppo
From Calabria Italy and weighing in at 12.5% Alc. This was a very delightful food friendly wine for $14. Purple in color with ruby hues. The nose has cherries and bitter cherries. No sign of wood at all (does it see any?). Also a bit of an old black licorice quality. On the palate, the vibrant acidity makes this flirty on the palate. Cherries and bitter cherries, especially on the finish. No tannins. I really liked this wine and at that price and alcohol levels it is really easy to drink. Not for those who want oak and fruit though.
