Red
Primo
By Luca Canevaro, Colli Tortonesi, Piemonte, Italy
The estate's reserve red, harvested from a single 60-year-old, south-facing vineyard only in the best years and aged 36 months, part in steel and part in oak.
Tasting notes
Deep garnet and ruby color with violet reflections. Fruity on the nose, cherry stands out with notes of violet, cinnamon, cocoa and leather. Enveloping in the mouth, dense and rich in soft but well-structured tannins.
