Fattoria Alois 2009 Nadhir Rosé (Campania)

Country: Italy / Nadhir
Variety: Rosé Southern Italy
Winery: Fattoria Alois / Campania

This dark, ruby-colored rosé made with the rare Casavecchia grape (which has existed since ancient Rome, when Pliny the Elder referred to it as Trebulanum), opens with soapy aromas of rosewood, raspberry, blueberry and almond paste. It shows a surprising touch of tannic firmness on the close.
