Red
Rosso Barchetta
By Colle Manora, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend from the Cascina Rossa vineyard, facing south to south-west. The label reinterprets the chassis plate of 1950s and 60s Ferrari racing cars.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby red with garnet reflections. Bouquet of violet, small red fruits and a light finish of spice. Intense, persistent and frank on the palate, round with a complex aftertaste and a finish of ripe red fruit.
Pairs well with
First courses, game, cheeses, roasts and braises; also with creamy, savoury sauces.
