"Mid cherry with soft pink rim. Pure red and dark-red fruits on the nose. Charming and intense, lightly spiced. Delicate floral note too. A wine to spend time with. Taut, juicy and relatively light on the palate. Ready now but no rush. Firm, dry yet harmonious finish." - Jancis Robinson
The Sito Moresco was created a softer and earlier drinking 'taste of the Langhe' and contains 50% Nebbiolo and 50% Barbera. Dark ruby red in the glass. On the nose of ripe black cherries, cassis notes, floral as well as spicy hints. On the palate complex structure, smooth, fruity and perfectly integrated tannins. Long lasting on the finish.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
