This Umbrian red wine is a concentrate of red and black fruits with notes of freshly cut grass. Ample and full-bodied, it is immediately seductive on the palate. Indisputable value for money!

Note and review by M. DIDIER P. Published on 31/07/2022
Powerful cherry nose. Tannic palate, slightly astringent but voluptuous. Slightly bitter finish, like many Italian reds. Nice spicy, licorice notes, good length. Interesting.

Surprising. Good wine, perhaps a little astringent.
