Blackberry, spices, and pepper on the nose. It is full-bodied with lots of fruit and softening tannins. Excellent value.

89/90. Very nice paired with eggplant parm (or many other Italian red-sauce type dishes I suspect) and also prime rib.

Very pleasing wine. Cherry wood adds complexity to flavour. Excellent value.

Oct 2013. Pretty good. A little fruity. Not bad at all for 15$

Very nice blend, balanced fruitiness and spiciness, both coming through in harmony with light acidity. I paired it with some spaghetti with meat balls and worked quite nicely into an Italian feel good meal.

The 2010 Masi Serego Alighieri Possessioni Rosso, composed of Corvina and Sangiovese, has intense aromas of black cherry, black currant, oak and vanilla on the nose and dates, black cherry and vanilla on the palate. It is a full bodied, dry, fruity wine, with good acidity, refined tannins (decant for 15-30 min) and a smooth finish of medium to long length. It is food friendly or enjoy on its own; drink now-2018+. My impression: NICE, 89-90 pts – recommended for its value. Tasted July/13.

Very drinkable -- nothing is overpowering.
