MONTEFALCO ROSSO DOC

MONTEFALCO ROSSO

DOC

The blend of Sagrantino, Merlot and Sangiovese makes this particularly structured wine enjoyable and balanced. Moderately long oak aging leaves pleasant fruity notes that result in an intense ruby red color.

It can be served with meat but also with rich first dishes.
Serve at 18°C.
