Tasting- Odoardi Savuto

Name: Odoardi Savuto 

Variety: Savuto
Price: $18
Region: Calabria
Country: Italy
Year: 2006

Description: "A beefy, herb-tinged red, supporting dense layers of plum sauce, grilled fig and currant paste, stacked with notes of roasted game, rosemary and hummus. The finish lingers, despite noticeable tannins. Gaglioppo, Greco Nero, Nerello Cappuccio, Magliocco Canino and Sangiovese. Drink now through 2016. 14,000 cases made." 89- Wine Spectator

A heavily woodsy smell and corresponding taste with a full finish define this tasty red.
