Tasting notes: dark red, with ruby reflections. On the nose there are dried plum’s, blackberry’s, chocolate’s and black pepper flavours, made more sophisticated by very light oriental fragrances of incense. In the mouth this wine is mellow and fresh, with the Casavecchia’s tannins balanced by black Pallagrello. In the long lasting finish come back the likeable oriental fragrances.
