The Terre del Principe 2016 Pallagrello Nero Ambruco opens to dark fruit and black cherry, and the wine also has a strong earthy or savory side with saddle leather and cured tobacco. Those savory notes are on the musky side, and this won't appeal to everyone. The wine is front-loaded in terms of aromas and enters the palate with mid-weight intensity and texture. It accurately delivers the slightly wild and rustic side of the native Pallagrello Nero grape in this release of 3,000 bottles.
