Alfonso Alfonzi Rosso IGT 2013

The winery's favorite wine, as well as a wine of high prestige as it is dedicated to the father of the winery's founder, the result of a combination of red grape varieties, according to the vintage and wood aging. Deep ruby red, great complexity with spicy notes of black pepper and coffee, sweet tannins in evidence and small red berries. The taste is wrapping, soft and dry with a great final persistence. Sausages, grilled and baked red meats. Also enjoyable as a meditation.
