A deliciously fresh, darkly seriously yet approachable Victorian red, made from Schioppettino grapes - traditionally grown along the Italian-Slovenian border

Intensely perfumed, with dark berries, violets & alpine florals, pepper, and subtle oak. It builds on the palate, with ripe blackberry and blackcurrant flavour, white pepper, savoury oak spices, and a fine edge of alpine herbs. Dry and medium bodied, with striking acidity and chewy tannins, making for a vibrant texture that's full of depth.

Its fresh and lively yet complex and seriously delicious - its no wonder that its been used by people for centuries to make promises to each other. . .
