Cantine Ferri Oblivio Nero di Troia 2008

This wine has not only a great comic-book super-villain name, but also plenty of character in its own right. Lifted floral, cherry and strawberry notes float above plum, leather, herbs, tobacco, anise and spice to create an engaging nose. The palate is just as complex and absorbing.
