Tasting - Ca'Bea

Name: Ca'Bea Sangue di Guida

Variety: 45% Uva Rara, 10% Barbera, 25% Croatina

Region: Oltrepo Pavese

Country: Italy

Year: 2014

Wine Shop Review: "Off-dry with a slight fizz, offering bright berry and mineral notes. Medium-bodied, with a clean, fresh palate and fruity finish. This is a rare, sweet red wine that is wonderful with desserts such as dry pastries, cookies and cakes."

My Review: This wine had the most unique smell I've ever encountered, like mashed banana with a bit of nutiness: it reminded me of Port. It had notes of cherry and was super sweet, but not unpleasant. Certainly an intriguing blend that I would like to try again.

I had this wine alone without food.
