Don't know how to make their own wine.

But seriously, they make their wines to go with food. Higher acidity and less fruit forward for a reason.

As you have said in the past, your group goes for California style fruit bombs, so I'm not surprised with the results.

...I don't think I can remember having any wine like the Nozzole or Di Majo when I was in Italy.

The thing is when the group tastes a bunch of wines side by side, especially blind, the fruitier ones, at least to a point, tend to stand out.

The fruit bombs fail (Macchia) but the ones with forward fruit and balance stand out (Nozoles).
