Rosso Piceno 2010 Conte Saladino

A deep ruby core with a purple rim. A ripe and youthful nose of cherries and sloes, with hints of tobacco leaf and spice. Harmoniously structured, with a firm texture and enduring tannins. A great all-round food wine, to drink now or keep for 2-3 years. Try with a selection of traditional antipasti.
