Cantine Valpane Rosa Ruske

The vintage is not written anywhere on the bottle, but I think this is from 2011 based on the lot number. Compared to the younger, bright colored Freisa, this shows some age, with rusty, orange and brown tones. Looks like it is twenty years old. Raisiny, earthy and port-like flavors. Decent acidity. An interesting wine, and my first Rucche. I'd like to try a younger one, to get a better feel for the grape.

Very aromatic, with a fist full of berries, and then a wave of horse piss and cow manure. Really takes me back to my teenage years in dairy country. Delicious if you like that sort of thing, and you should!
