Red
Montalupa Rosso
By Matteo Ascheri, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy
The experimental heart of the estate: a Langhe Rosso from Syrah grown at Montalupa in Bra, produced only in the best vintages.
Tasting notes
Deep red colour with violet reflections. Spicy bouquet with broad and persistent notes of small fruits, wild mountain-meadow flowers and licorice. Rich and balanced palate with sweet tannins that give harmony, distinction and intensity. Remarkably classy, rich and typical, suitable for long ageing.
Pairs well with
Book: Moby Dick (Herman Melville). Music: I'm Outta Time (Oasis).
