Gelisi Antonio Sangue di Guida

Name: Gelisi Antonio
Variety: 60% Croatina, 30% Barbera, 10% Uva Rara
Region: Sangue
Country: Italy
Year: 2015
Price: $12.95
Shop/Critic/Winery Review: 84 - Wine Spectator "A blend of 60% Croatina, 30% Barbera and 10% Uva Rara the wine shows candied black raspberry and plum fruit mixes with balsamic and cocoa powder accents in this frizzante red, with light tannins, a creamy mousse and enough acidity for balance."

My impressions: Sugary nose, smells like fresh grape juice.  Effervescent, sweet.  Can't really taste the alcohol at all, the sugar drowns it out.  Somewhat creamy finish.  Nice, would be good with a chocolate cake or something.  Too sweet on its own.
