Red
Saline Riserva
By Vinory, Nizza, Piemonte, Italy
Riserva from the single Saline vineyard in San Marzano Oliveto, aged about 24 months in steel, casks, barriques and bottle.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby red with clear purple reflections. Red fruit on the nose with bitter cocoa and coffee, turning spicy and gamey with age. Rich, dry and full-bodied, with a silky mix of plum and blackberry, very light and subtle tannins and great acidity. Coffee and spice on the finish, with a dense texture.
