Tasting- Librandi Ciro Rosso Classico

Name: Librandi Ciro
Variety: Rosso Classico
Region: ?
Country: Italy
Year: 2009
Price: $3.95

Winery Review: Don’t let the pale garnet color fool you:  this is a substantial wine.  Aromas of red fruits and spice complement undertones of cranberries, wild berries, and plums.  On the palate, ripe tannins and good body make for an incredibly rich, yet easygoing red wine.  Pair this wine with sausage, spicy curry sauces, hot soppressata, and tandoori chicken.

Personal Review: This wine was a light red color. On the nose, I got the smell of pepper, cherry and other dark red fruits. This wine was dry, peppery, very rich and tannic. Overall, I did not enjoy the finish on this wine. It may have been better if paired with food.
