Collemassari Rosso Riserva Montecucco 2017
Italy, Montecucco
Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Ciliegiolo
Description
The dominant flavour is the extreme elegance of the Sangiovese with charming cherry notes combined with dark fruits and the complexity of Cabernet; the typical acidity and the body are perfectly integrated, it's linear, dry, persistent and shows a nice balance. The Montecucco Rosso Riserva is a wine for any occasion, ripe and complex with smooth tannins
