Red Wine
Passomaggio
2016
An elegant passage in barriques makes its tannic note enveloping and transforms it into a silky tasting pleasure.
Vigorous in its aromas, it translates the origin of the three grape varieties (Nero d'Avola, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon) with aromas of cherry, blackberry, currant, lavender, vanilla.
Exciting with meat dishes, game but also risotti and first courses with a strong taste.
