An Adriatic Coast wine made from Prugnolo and Aglianico; it’s not terribly elegant but it does sport meaty fruit that falls into the boysenberry/blackberry category. Fairly creamy on the back end, while overall it comes across as well made. Soft tannins make for an easy, almost lactic finish and mouthfeel. ——M.S.(2/1/2005)—— 87
