V.Q.P.R.D. stands for “Vino di Qualità Prodotto in Regioni Determinate” essentially the same thing as Denominazione di Origine Controllata on the label; Fine means it has been aged at least one year.
Pours a reddish amber hue reminiscent of Brunello, smells of almond, pistachio, and parmesan cheese. The taste is rich and lightly sweet with flavors of apple, cherry, and caramel on a tannin free medium body. The finish is long and dry with a very low acidity, featuring notes of fig, raisin, roasted malts, cashew butter, and a touch of brown sugar. Overall this is a surprisingly complex wine, it has a little bite to it but the finish is very long and transitively nuanced.
