Winery Review: "Dense ruby red with violet reflections. Lush and ripe bouquet full of mulberries, blackberries and spice. Harmonious and well balanced with good berry fruit in a spicy background.
My Review: I have mixed feelings about this wine, because of the complex body and mixture of flavors present in this Italian wine. The Resonata had strong blackberry and mulberry aromas that I quite enjoy in a red wine, but had a very strong spicy bite on the finish. Sometimes a spicy aspect can be a welcome addition to the body of the wine, but in this case I found it a bit overpowering. Although the fruity characteristics could be detected, the spicy finish definitely distracted my palate. I'd be willing to reasses this wine with a spicy indian or italian dish, but this is certainly not at the top of my list.
