Classy, robust, sophisticated, long-lived, complex but approachable - these and many other adjectives can be used to describe the Falco. And also this similarly named Italian red wine:

Seriously, this is a delicious wine and is a worthy compliment to our steed, but only after the day's riding has finished, of course. I bought this from Aldi or Lidl (can't honestly remember which) and it was no more than £10 a bottle, possibly less. It's proper serious wine, but you don't need to be a wine buff to appreciate it.

I'll look out for that one. No doubt they'll be going pretty fast...

From the comments it appears it was from Lidl and did in fact cost a tenner. Most of the tasting notes correspond well with what I found in the wine. I bought 3 of these and have only drunk one, so I'll try and forget about the other two. Won't be easy...
