2012 Tenuta di Castellaro Nero Ossidiano

The 2012 Nero Ossidiana is a bright and sprightly red wine with dark berry flavors of cassis and dried cherry that segue to dark mineral, lead pencil shavings, licorice and spice. This is an edgy, focused and razor sharp red wine with a tangy and racy style. There is a point of bitterness that may be unattractive to some, but it works well with creamy foods such as pasta and cheese or risotto. Nero Ossidana is a wine of enormous character and distinctiveness.
