Description

The Terrano Rosso Carso DOC from Castelvecchio is a wine that embodies the essence of its region of origin, the Carso, with a viticultural history that dates back centuries. This wine is renowned for its characteristic deep ruby red color, almost violet, which heralds the intensity of its organoleptic nuances.

With a complex aromatic profile, the Terrano Rosso opens with notes of wild berries, plum, and a light trace of wild herbs that transport the taster among the limestone rocks and sea breezes that characterize the Karst terroir. On the palate, it shows a pronounced acidity typical of the grape variety, which effectively balances its robust and well-defined tannic structure.

Despite its intensity, the Terrano Rosso from Castelvecchio offers a surprisingly fresh sip, with a finish that lingers thanks to mineral nuances and a slight spiciness. This wine represents an excellent choice to accompany rich dishes of red meat, game, or aged cheeses, promising to evolve magnificently with aging in the cellar.
