Tasting Note
Brilliant ruby red, with hints of red fruits and citrus fruits and course herb, drinks fresh, graceful and carefree.
“Red wine from Pallagrello Nero grapes and Casavecchia, grown organically. It was born from the idea that wine can and must free itself from superstructures,
schemes, constraints, fashions and trends. Recovering the right simplicity, finally we will be free to appreciate wine with all our senses
Letting us be guided only by pleasure of drinking.”
