The first thing that you notice about this wine is the bottle itself, dark green glass, with red lettering and a raised serpent on it, and of course the translation probably means Red Viper/Snake. When you open it, you are instantly treated to a nice aroma of spice and curant. The taste is more dry, with the Sangiovese grape dominating the experience, but with the Merlot mellowing it out into something a little more flavorful.

While this is dry, it is not too tannic, but has more delicate flavors of dark berries, spice and even a little woodyness.

This wine is perfect with red meats and tomato sauces.
