Tasting - Odoardi Savuto

Name: Odoardi Savuto
Variety: 45% Gaglioppo, 15% Greco Nero, 15% Nerello Cappuccio, 15% Magliocco Canino, 10% Sangiovese
Region: Calabria
Country: Italy
Year: 2006
Price: $18.00

Winery Review: A beefy, herb tinged red, sporting dense layers of plum sauce, grilled fig and currant paste, stacked with notes of roasted game, rosemary and hummus. The finish lingers, despite noticeable tannins.

My Review: This wine had a jammy nose and some herb scents. After tasting, the tannins come on very strong which prevented me from noticing other flavors present. In my opinion the tannins were too strong in this wine.

I did not have this wine with food.
