Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: This wine won a Gold Medal at the 2009 San Diego International Wine Competition. Col di Sasso translates as “stony hill”, a reference to the rocky slopes where this wine is grown — and a name that makes sense when you taste this minerally, earthy blend. These landscape-imparted nuances are joined by aromas and flavors of currants, red plum, and ripe cherries. My note: Simple, rustic, robust and tasty. Bursting with rich dark berries and other fruit. Smoky and peppery. Knock it back. Food matches: gourmet pizza, cheese-based pasta dishes.

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review: Very french in style. Pepper, currants, light mint and strawberries define this wine. Herbs and maraschino cherries on the finish. I'm 88 on this wine. (ottawwinejournal.com)
