9 Euro at the Punta SMA by the apartment we rented in Rome. We've had a lot of wines from Feudi San Gregorio in the past, but they've been mostly white. They're quite a large producer, with reliably high quality. This wine is no exception. Lots of tannin, with blackberry, dried cherry, allspice, and a hint of vanilla. Sort of reminds me of well made Zinfandel that is low alcohol (this is 13.5%). Comes off a bit rustic, but is an awesome accompaniment to Barolo salame, grocery store Taleggio (which is better than any Taleggio I've had had in the states), pig candy (!!! called coppiette), and smoked mozzarella. Really, this wine isn't too polished--it's got rustic tannins and acidity, but it's pretty good for the price. Its probably more in the states too. B/B+
