This red Tintilia from Molise in central southern Italy offers warm, soft fruit on the nose, like berries cooked in wine, with savory notes of soil and leather. The palate brings out more berries, from cranberry to raspberry to blackberry, and is similarly undergirded by earthy elements of underbrush and wild fennel. Tannins are still gritty, but, with a little time and air, the Tintilia's charm comes through.
