Roccafiore. Rosso 'Melograno'

Umbria Sangiovese IGT
Grape: Sangiovese

Typical Sangiovese black cherry fruit, the tannins are unusually controlled, just a touch of dry grip on the finish.  There is a lovely purity to this wine, it has a pleasing lightness that suits being served cold, and we think it improves for being opened an hour or 2 before drinking.  12.5%
