- Power; Elegance; Great Value!
Dark brick/tile color. Bouquet of balsam, cedar and rosemary. Full-bodied wine, impressive by the concentration and the power of the Abruzzo. Both front and mid-palate have harmony. The tannins are pleasant and not obtrusive; the finish is long on flavors of overripe prunes and it has good depth. Powerful, elegant, but a wine to enjoy with food (big roasts or strong cheeses). Decant before serving.
