DeAetna Rosso

Intense, brilliant ruby red. Initially somewhat restrained on the nose, kitschy notes, then black tea, ripe fruit, raspberry and rosehip. The palate is very full-bodied, with grippy tannins, plus fine saltiness, then slightly austere and loose knit on the finish, although repeatedly salty and juicy; still needs time.

Brick dust and cranberry are on the nose with an undertone of herb-crusted grilled meat and a deeper umami note of balsamic vinegar. The palate offers more cranberries joined by strawberries and cherries but remains very savory and finishes with dusty, gritty tannins.
