Year: 2013 
Region: Bardolino 
Country: Italy 
Price: $9.95 

Vintage Cellar ReviewWine Spectator "A blend of 60% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, 10% Molinara this bright ruby red wine has hints of black cherry on the nose.  It is soft and fruit-forward, with black-fruit flavors followed by a bright and fresh finish. Serve it as the Italians do – young and lightly chilled. Pairs perfectly with fleshy fish, beef, lamb, red-sauced pastas and pizza."

My Review: The Barolino was another blended wine with a lovely light red coloring. The smell was quite different than I expected with an aroma of butter and dried cranberries. The taste was dry and oaky mixed with a light bitterness on the finish. I loved the smell of the wine and wish the smell translated to that taste more.
