Review from online: "Love this wine!!! I'm not a big drinker, but this wine does something to my soul. It taste amazing, and this price is right. I like to drink it chilled, and with good company. I've try all the flavors I can get my hands and I love them all. I finally have a wine brand that I love. I recommend this wine to everyone I know." -tiffanys252 (https://www.finewineandgoodspirits.com/stella-rosa-loriginale-stella-berry/product/000098973?bvstate=pg:2/ct:r)
Wine Folly Notes: "There are two major features affecting the weather in Piedmont: the ice cold Alps and the warm Mediterranean. The tug-of-war (a.k.a. Diurnal) temperature variation makes the whole area fill up with morning fog that slowly burns off during the day.
This means the land higher up on the hills gets more sun. More sun = happy grapes = good wine. There are good wines to be found north of the Apennines in the foothills of the Alps. But since this area (around Gattinara) is much cooler, expect much lighter tasting, higher acid wines."(https://winefolly.com/deep-dive/piedmont-wine-guide/)
My review: Distinct smell of sweet strawberry candy/jam. Underneath that initial hit, there's some nonspecific berry I can smell - maybe some blackberry. The taste itself is like juice - super sweet, with a little tartness peeking its head out at the end. Eating it with cheesecake really brough out the tartness! Delicious 10/10.
