2008 RossoCube Umbria

A red wine blend from the Montefalco, Giano dell’Umbria and Spoleto growing regions of Umbria in Italy. The three grapes used in the blend, Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo and Canaiolo are aged separately in steel vats and then blended. Alcohol content 12.5%.

Liquid strawberry jelly red. The nose is stewed prune, menthol, maraschino cherry after it’s been floating in a Manhattan for a awhile, along with ripe red plums, a funky but cool aroma. Cherries and strawberries upfront, not fresh fruit more like unsweetened cooked fruit, light Altoids spice and a late splash of blueberry. A nice, soft  blueberry finish. Soft tannins, light bodied but full flavored.

A light, versatile, tasty wine. A red wine that would be refreshing on a hot summer’s day, but would also pair well with a thick juicy steak.
