3 of 5 stars
This wine didn't have a whole lot going for it from the start and its clearly come from bunker fuel quality grapes and mass produced like a Carlo Rossi. The taste was smooth and somewhat sweeter than you usually find in old-world wines, but by all counts unremarkable.
I drank this wine with a barely edible dinner of undercooked chicken, onions, and eggplant over cooked pasta. Actually I'm feeling a bit light headed so maybe it was inedbile... we'll know in a few hours. *Update: I didn't die*
There are a couple of things that I liked about this wine:
1st: it was really cheap
2nd: it was dark enough that I couldn't read a newspaper through a glass of it, which is, unfortunately, not always the case for the combini cru wines
3nd. Calling a cheap wine from Italy "Michelangelo" is just ridiculous.
4th and most importantly, there is a picture of an angry peasant on the label.
