Red
Munfrina
By Pelissero, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
Dolcetto first made in 1984; the name Munfrina recalls the vineyard's former owner, a woman from Monferrato.
Tasting notes
Intense, brilliant violet red. Open, varietal fruit from red cherry to marasca. Savoury and pleasant, with a slightly bitter finish recalling almond, typical of the variety.
