Samodia Rosso 2024, Jacopo Stigliano
From Valsamoggia, just west of Bologna. A field blend of Barbera, Sangiovese, Ancellotta, Merlot and Lambrusco Grasparossa.
Medium bodied and pretty high acidity. A lot of blackberry and pomegranate on the nose, with a little blueberry, cinnamon and a greener note I can't quite put a finger on. You get the same on the palate, but even though the finish is decently long it kind of loses oomph in the middle.
Overall, this is a nice, fresh wine and that lack of oomph just lets it down a bit in my view. I've heard great things about Jacopo Stigliano and would appreciate others' insight, as this is just his entry-level wine and I'm thinking of exploring his more fancy cuvées.
