Tasting - Baci Dolci

Name: Baci Dolci "Sweet Kiss"
Variety: Marzemino, Merlot
Region: Colli Euganei
Country: Italy
Year: Non-Vintage
Price: Regular $15 Sale $9.95

Shop/wine critic/winery review: "A blend of 50% Marzemino 50% Merlot. A delicate, slightly frizzante wine with an intense ruby red color. Fresh strawberry & black cherry aromas with hints of roses. Cherry pie flavors, medium-full bodied with refreshing sparkle to balance the semi-sweet balance." Vintage Cellar

My review: This wine had aromas of sweet strawberries, mixed berries, and a sweet "teenager" perfume you might find at a preteen's favorite clothing store. This wine was sweet. Mega sweet. Sweetest wine I've ever tasted, more than moscato, more than those cherry juice wines. Whoa. It was like a torte with strawberry compote and sweet like candy with powdered sugar on top. How crazy! If you are a sweets person, this is the wine for you. Dessert is served.

This wine was tasted at the Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, Virginia without food.
