Terracruda - Pergola Lubaco Rosso 2011
Pairing Suggestions
100% Aleatico grape. In the glass a ruby red color with garnet hues. In the nose a intense bouquet of flowers like violets and roses, red fruit like cherries, strawberries, red currant with at the end spicy notes, cloves and leather. On the palate good balance, good tannic, medium – full bodied with a flowery, spicy, fruity long aftertaste. I would love to open another bottle over 5 more years.
