Red
Invictus
By Tenuta Montemagno, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
Late-harvest Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato with grapes dried on the vine, for more structure and tannin than the estate's Nobilis.
Tasting notes
Dark red with purple and black highlights. Roses, violets and ripe red fruit, with mint and eucalyptus. Markedly tannic and aromatic, with pepper and cinnamon, round and velvety from the late harvest. Long-lived and elegant.
