Unknown varietals, production location or even producer. Some wah-wah-wah on the label about "limited amount of allowed production" caused declassification of this Italian red, great value at $7, but still enjoyable, rich and fruity quaffer that overshadows lots of TJ "values" of bad, thin and acerbic reds under private label. Imported by Santini, it's definitely a "buy." I'd suspect a Nebbiolo grape or a similar blend from Piemonte? Think this is related to TJ’s new 2007 “Nerelo del Bastardo”?
