Le Dritte Aglianico

Description

Tasting Notes

Full ruby red color. Intense on the nose, the first hints are ‘green sensations’, tomato leaves, but there are also notes of fresh red fruit, cherry, and in the background spicy hints, black pepper. On the palate the wine is straight and sharp, shifted to its “tough parts”, it has powerful tannins combined with good freshness and minerality, defining a never predictable palate.
