description: Nearly opaque in darkness, this extremely rare wine grape, originally from Italy's Alto Adige, delivers aromas of charred and juicy roasted game, blackberry-mint syrup and balsamic figs. It's not quite so showy on the palate at first, but then a violety, blueberry and rose petal character emerges, along with Earl Grey tea elements and a decently grippy tannic structure. It's quite intriguing.
