This Italian red is produced from 65% Montepulciano and 35% Cesanese grown in the volcanic area by Doc Roma. The red wine is intense red in color with purple red reflections, which are going to disappear with ageing. With a pleasant softness given by the malolactic fermentation, this full-bodied wine is rich in aromas, with flavors of red and black berries with aromatic notes of violets, cocoa, tobacco and licorice.
