Descrizione

The Rosso IGT "160 Anni" from Ippolito is an approachable red wine, clearly expressed in the glass. It shows a bright ruby color and an aromatic profile leaning towards ripe red fruits and forest berries, accompanied by subtle spicy and mineral notes. On the palate it offers a balance of freshness and structure, tannins that are present yet smooth, and a medium-length finish that makes it enjoyable without feeling heavy. Its profile suits both everyday drinking and informal convivial occasions.

It pairs well with a range of dishes: ideal with cold cuts and medium-aged cheeses, tomato-based pasta, white meats and moderately intense grilled preparations. Serve around 16–18 °C; a short decanting can help the aromas open up. Store in a cool, sheltered place away from direct light and strong temperature fluctuations, and consume according to personal preference.
