Rustic and bright, the same beautiful, lush Note di Rosso from Viola as before, but in a new bottle! Shows aromas of ripe red fruit, cherries in alcohol, balsamic notes of eucalyptus and toast. Soft, well integrated tannins, juicy, with balsamic freshness and good persistence.

Native fermentations and gentle extractions in tank are followed by a brief 6-month stint in chestnut barrels; the resulting wine — at once juicy, boisterous and pleasantly plush without really coming close to being a ‘full-bodied wine.’ No fining, No filtered, No Added Sulfites.
