I don't know much about tasting wine. That being said, I do know what I like, and I know the difference between cheap wine and good wine. My favorite category of wine is the Italian reds, particularly from the Tuscany region, and this wine fits into that category. Simply called "Rosso", or "Red" in italian, it is a blended wine (40% Prugnolo Gentile, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot), and I consider it to be good (and quite wallet-friendly at $20 or less per bottle). As I said before, I'm not much of a wine taster, but here's the best description I can muster:
The aroma is kind of dark, and reminds me of darker berries (blackberry, blueberry, etc). It is a smooth wine, with a bit of tartness, and the flavor is a little brighter than something like a pure Cabernet. The berriness continues in the taste, which is kind of like a dried berry mix. There is a mild saltiness to it as well. The finish is relatively short, and not unpleasant.
For its price, this is a good Tuscan red wine, but I've enjoyed slightly cheaper Tuscan red wines more than this one.
