Cantina della Serra Canavese Rosso

Canavese red from a blend of the area's traditional grapes, aged 12 months in concrete, 13.5% alcohol, about 15,000 bottles a year.

Tasting notes

Deep ruby red. Good intensity of ripe small black berries such as blackcurrant with a light spicy note. Fairly fresh, with good structure and young tannins.

Pairs well with

A classic Marenda Sinoira, the traditional Canavese afternoon spread (the wine reflects the polyvarietal vineyards of the Canavese)
