Astrale Vino Rosso d’Italia  

Dark garnet in colour, this is an earthy, meaty style of red, slightly rustic – some will be put off by that, while others will adore the wine. Big red berry flavours here, especially fresh cherries. Leather, aniseed, florals and cloves, for a bold style. Very good length, fine acidity and sleek tannins. Quite delicious. Any time over the remainder of this decade.
