Cantine San Marzano Malvasia Nera Talò Salento IGT

Nice, certainly for that price. The main characteristic is the quite intense fruit such as ripe dark cherry and blue forrest berries. A tad rustic in nature and a streak of vanilla are appreciable. The balance leans a bit towards sweetish, but is correct. A touch of bitterness and a finishing kirsch impression make the palate sufficiently broad, yet there 's something missing in depth to make it to the 90+ or "very good" category.
