Tasting - Alta Luna Phases

Alta Luna Phases

Variety: Teroldego (40%), Lagrein (30%), and Merlot (30%)
Region: Trentino
Country: Italy
Year: 2009
Price: $9.95
Shop review: Aged in small oak barrels for 12 months, then further refined in bottle before release. Deep ruby red dark cherry, plum and blackberry aromas combine with intriguing spicy notes. Rich, concentrated dark fruit character against powerful yet silky tannins and bright acidity. Excellent structure, with a distinctive freshness to the fruit that creates an elegant profile.
My review: A smooth feel. An interesting blend of rich spice and dark fruit with softening floral notes. The finish lingers with the richness of the dark fruit.
I did not have food with this tasting.
