In the last few years, the vineyards were freed from the criminal rackets ("Libera Terra" means "freed ground") and switched to organic production. Medium in body, red fruit, earthy and straightforward, this wine retains nice acidity and firm tannins, making for a great food wine. It's that ideal pizza and pasta wine, with an earthy streak, ripe red fruit and firm dry finish. A simple red table wine like this can be the perfect wine with funky cheese.
