Tasting - "Siema Vino Rosso"

Name - Siema Vino Rosso
Variety - Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo
Region - Piemonte
Country - Italy
Year - ----
Price - $10.00, Sale - $6.95

Wine Store Review - Vintage Cellar
Intense ruby red with soft garnet nuances in the glass, the Rosso is intriguingly fresh, fruity and spicy on the nose. Perfectly round and balanced, the wine is particularly soft and dry. Pair with simple dishes like fresh cheese, ham, salami, or pizza for a divine culinary experience.

My Review - The color of this wine was beautiful, it looks just like my birth stone, garnet. I smelled rubbing alcohol very strongly right away with hints of black cherries and raspberries. It was a very strong blackberry jam flavor on the palate, a little smokey but a smooth finish. It definitely had a lingering smokey, licorice aftertaste. I did not try this wine with food.
