This Purpureo red wine features a blend of merlot and cabernet, which has been briefly aged in wood. The wine is deep in red with a purple rim. The nose notes are hints of green tea, freshly mown grass, rubber and tar, then giving ways to aromas of blueberries, blackberries and cherries. The wine tastes soft and full-bodied in mouth. As a versatile wine, it complements most meat dishes, but can also accompany pasta dishes and risottos without masking their flavor.
