As it ages, it takes on notes of seductive spices, anise, violets, leather, olive, tobacco and cigar box. It's often aged in oak from 6-24 months. It can be quite tannic when young (so decant it for an hour or two if you aren't going to age it).
It has rolling bucolic hills, quaint hilltop towns, earthy sienna-hued Italian villas (often rundown farmhouses in masquerade, but why quibble), and a patchwork pattern of olive groves and vineyards covering the earthy and romantic countryside.
