Sant'Antonio, Corvina Scaia, IGT

Enjoyed the raspberry notes and a great value wine .. sometimes available below RM 80 Oct 2020

Spicy and rich, but light on its feet, this packs a fresh, delicious, cherry dominated punch, with floral, peppery overtones. This glides weightlessly on the tongue, but has real mid-palate density. If only the average Valpolicella had this verve! At $12 from Full Pull, this is a wildly good deal.

Very Nice. Better on day 2

always good such an easy drinking wine and crazy price

Excellent wine for the low cost. Interesting to try next to an amarone and how similar the base flovor profile is.

A friendly wine with a deep and fruity bouquet and a firm, still elegant aftertaste; in between, however, the wine is juicy but also quite jammy.

dark ruby-cherry colour, clear. nose: plums, some alcohol, some earthynes and sweetnes of prunes. taste: medium (+) acid; ripe bl;ack cherries; full body with soft tannins and sweet fruits, medium (+) finish full of prunes. Good.

7 Days in Italy II; 2/17/2019-2/23/2019 : Corvina Gentile vs. Corvinone. Corvinone more rustic, bigger berries, bigger wine. They do pre-ferment ML, this helps maintain freshness and it’s easier to complete ML in lower ABV. It’s also easier to control and monitor at this stage (as it’s not happening in barrel). Ripe bell pepper aromas. Plum. 8-10m in tank on the lees. Lot of deep plum aromas. 7-8 g/l RS upto 10g/l in cool vintages to balance out the higher …

Medium body, fruity, round

Hibiscus, sour cherries and beefy notes followed by dusty spice and cinnamon. Silky tannins. Mellow with nice acidity

Very tasty little bottle; fruity, not too tannic, easy drinking. Great pizza wine, and at a price point perfect to use in cooking.
