Feudi di San Gregorio Patrimo Irpinia IGT(2001)

Produced with Merlot grapes, Pàtrimo reveals itself at once as a full-bodied, almost black ruby red wine, clear but deep in colour.
Aromas of preserves of small black fruit, sweet spices, curry, eucalyptus, vanilla and coffee.
The taste has a strong impact, thanks to volume and concentration. Tannins are sweet and fine; the overall balance is excellent.
The finish brings a lingering aftertaste of scents of fruit, spices .
