'Alberico' Rosso Lazio 2017 (750ml) MinervoisRuby red color; on the nose intense, complex, dominated by hints of ripe red fruit and jam, small notes of chocolate and hot spices. On the palate, it is warm, soft, round and savory. Full bodied, robust, with a mineral vein, typical of volcanic soils of the Roman countryside.
It needs to be forgotten for 4-6 years and
it needs a lot of swirling to begin to unlock a powerful nose of crème de cassis
