Descrizione

Vignota is a rich and balanced red wine, produced with Barbera grapes carefully selected during the harvest which, after fermentation, rests for 10 months in second passage barriques.

When poured it appears of an intense ruby red color. The nose seduces with hints of ripe blackberries and black cherries, accompanied by aromatic nuances of sage, tobacco and leather. The sip is soft from the first sip, pleasantly sapid and fresh, with fine tannins and good persistence.

Perfect to drink throughout the meal as an accompaniment to complete land menus.
