WineSaint
Dark cherry and exotic spice define this rare 100% Nerello Cappuccio bottling. The palate shows impressive mineral drive with vibrant acidity lifting red fruit flavors. Floral notes emerge mid-palate, building to a persistent finish marked by mint and smoky earth. Ripe tannins provide backbone without overwhelming the wine's elegant character. A distinctive expression that highlights this variety's unique personality.
