This is the closest article about the wine that I can find. My Review: I feel like the wine is on the lighter end of red wine. I couldn't really explain it well, but I could taste a little bit of vanilla.  With Food: I had the wine with beef, I like it better just the wine by itself. The beef was too strong for the wine, since the wine is a bit lighter.

My Review: I liked the wine, although not as much as the wine to its side (Stella Rosa Rosso). The wine has a fruity taste, also on the berry side on the wine taste wheel.  With Food: I had the wine with beef and pasta. I prefer the wine just by itself or with something lighter. It feels like the beef overpowered the wine.
