Tasting- Paride Iaretti Uvenere Gattinara

The Paride Iaretti Uvenere Gattinara was the fourth wine we tried at the Vintage Cellar. The variety is Nebbido, Croatina, Vespolina, Bonarda from Piedmont, Italy priced at $12.95. The Vintage Cellar said, "50-70 year old vines. Maggiorina, ancient trellising system- typical of the northern part of Piedmont. Uvenere is Italian for "black grapes". Purpleish red, intense perfume, redolent of flowers, red fruits and spices". I thought this was a pretty awful tasting wine, the wine was a pretty deep red color, but it was acidic with an immense bite of spices.
