Castello Colle Massari Montecucco Rigoleto Rosso 2019 750 ML

Pleasant impact on the nose, where fresh, vinous and balsamic notes of cherry and menthol aromas stand out. The taste is fresh, soft and inviting and with sweet and enveloping tannins.\n \n Producer Information\n Wine has been made in Montecucco since the time of the Etruscans in the 8th century, though it recently received DOCG status.
