Notes | |||
"Vigna Ca’ Guicciardi has an intense, bright red ruby color, marked aromas of ripe red fruit with prevailing notes of black cherry, currant, spices (liquorice, cloves and cinnamon) and dried violet; the warmth and light during ripening produce round and rich tannins on the palate." —winemaker Wine Anthology Team Review- With grapes grown at the foot of the Alps in northern Italy, the soil is filled with quartz and metamorphic rock that holds warmth from the sun and adds to the unique characteristics of the grapes. You'll find light and dark fruit flavors here complimented by a spice character that rides into the finish quite nicely. Enjoy with Past Primavera with grilled Chicken. Enjoy! |

"Sweet berry and cherry with some lemon and orange-peel character. Watermelon, too. Medium body. Medium, round tannins and a creamy finish. Lovely texture and flavors here. Drink or hold." —James Suckling |
