Country: Italy / Hero
Variety: Pallagrello Nero Southern Italy
Winery: Selvanova / Terre del Volturno

This opens with aromas of toast, plum and chocolate that are accented by whiffs of blue flower, tilled soil and leather. The palate offers black cherry, plum, nutmeg and clove alongside racy acidity and astringent wood tannins that dry out the finish.
