Tasting - Candoni Buongiorno Red Blend

Name: Candoni Buongiorno
Variety: Organic Primitivo and Syrah
Region: Puglia
Country: Italy
Vintage: N/A
Price: $7.95

Shop Review: "Black ruby color. Mild, spicy, earthy aromas of spiced berries and plum with a supple, bright, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a tingling, brisk earth and cinnamon finish with dusty, coating tannins and moderate oak. A sturdy, earthy red for the table."

My Review: This wine had a dark brick red color. There was no vintage on this wine but it makes me wonder if it had been aged a little bit because of the orange/brick tint. I tasted oak, spices, raspberry, and plum. It almost reminded me of a plum brandy I tried in Romania (not as strong of course). It had a strong aroma of leather as well. This wine was really good and I think would be wonderful with cheese.

Pairing: Not with this wine!

Cheers!
Natalie
