This was a gift from my friend when visiting Rome, The wine has one big problem and that is : very high alcohol, Yesterday I opened it at 19°C and I could not drink it, how burning it was, today I am drinking it at 14°C and it is better, but alcohol is still dominating the wine in unpleasant way. I drank half bottle and I cannot take more. I will have to invent how to blend it with some Moravian reds I have with 11% of alcohol to make it drinkable.:-)
