Scambia 2012 Ripuglie Red (Umbria)

Country: Italy / Ripuglie
Variety: Red Blend Central Italy
Winery: Scambia / Umbria

This blend of 70% Ciliegiolo and 30% Canaiolo opens with muddled aromas that includes chalk, black berries, antiseptic and barnyard. The simple palate delivers overripe blackberry and a hint of black pepper along with a meaty rusticity. It ends on a bitter, medicinal note.
