Tasting- Vigna Lenuzza Refosco

Name: Vigna Lenuzza Friuli Colli Orientali Refosco

Variety: 100% Refosco

Region: Fruili

Country: Italy

Year: 2011

Price: $5.95

Review: "Classic varietal notes of wild herbs, roasted coffee beans, leather and spices deep ruby hues while on the palate sweet spiced notes of cinnamon and cardamom, held together with lively acidity and graceful tannins." From: Vintage Cellar

My review: This wine smelled oaky, spicy, and earthy. I think it tasted like dirt or like chewing on a piece of wood. I found the tannins to be a lot and thought that this wine would be significantly improved if I had eaten it with some food. 

Food Pairing: I did not drink this with food.
