Let’s talk about Appia Antica 400 Rosso Lazio IGT - Tenuta Principe Alberico

More questions

Appia Antica 400 Rosso is a Lazio IGT from Tenuta Principe Alberico. Ruby in color with lively highlights, it opens with aromas of ripe red fruit accompanied by discreet spice and earthy notes in the background. On the palate it shows balanced structure, tannins that are present but well integrated and a freshness that aids drinkability; the finish is savory and persistent without being intrusive. It is a measured and accessible expression of the estate's production, intended for everyday use but with a certain character.

It pairs simply with home-cooked dishes: pasta with sauce, white meats and moderately aged cheeses. It is advisable to serve it at a mild temperature to better appreciate the aromas and structure, and to open it shortly before consumption to allow it to harmonize in the glass. Suitable for both informal meals and moments of sharing, it offers a reliable presence in the cellar without excessive pretension.
