- Shop Review: 65% Corvina Veronese, 25% Rondinella, and 10% Molinara. The red ruby color and the dry taste give this wine joviality and cordiality. It is fresh and fruity, with lovely strawberry and cherry aromas and flavors, with nice spice and a silky texture.
- My Review: The smells were sweet and fruity, maybe with a light hint of strawberries, and stangely I felt that it sort of "smelled" like it would be smooth. Upon tasting it though, it was not as smooth as I had expected. It had a good berry taste and an aftertaste of strawberries I had smelled. But the tannins were a light strong, giving my tongue a light feeling of sandpaper. Nothing wrong with this, just not what I expected.
