Rosso di Stellenbosch 2010

Bright red colour with perfumed aromas of pomegranate, sweet and sour cherries and Prosciutto. Delicate oaking in 2nd and 3rd fill barrels contribute to both fruity and savoury notes on the palate. Medium bodied with good acidity and a dry finish typical of Italian varietal wines and perfect for Italian dishes.

Rosso blend is an excellent everyday partner for Italian dishes.
