I was unfamiliar with Bonamico but I'll look for it from now on! The color is closer to deep purple than red. The bouquet opens with interesting hints of blueberries and smoky tarragon. The flavor is both rich and bold with notes of leather, tobacco, and a slightly nutty-earthy background, and a smooth, long finish. Thus is a truly beautiful wine, as I've grown to expect from L'arca!
