The 1997 Nardo's elegant, dark ruby/purple color is followed by abundant quantities of sweet blackberry and currant fruit, and a rich, spicy, concentrated, medium to full-bodied palate with good underlying acidity. Gritty tannin kept my score low. This wine should age nicely for a decade. Importers: The Rare Wine Co., Sonoma, CA; tel. (707) 996-4484 and a Leonardo Locascio Selection, Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel.
