Tasting notes
A richly-flavoured, spicy red with aromas of plum and black cherry. The ripe palate combines generous bramble fruit flavours with savoury, lightly smoky characters, a hint of bitter chocolate and nip of tannin on the finish.
Food match
Versatile and supple, ideal with meat or tomato sauce based pasta dishes, or grilled red meat.

Meet the producer
Established in 2003, Adria Vini is a winemaking venture jointly owned by Boutinot and Araldica Castelvero, the leading co-operative in the Monferrato hills of Piemonte. Our aim is to produce authentic, well-priced still and sparkling wines from local grape varieties. All aspects of production, from grape selection through to vinification, maturation, blending and bottling are meticulously overseen by Araldica's winemaking team of Claudio Manera and Lella Burdese - assisted by Boutinot's Tony Brown MW. We source from a range of private growers and cooperatives, with whom we have long term relationships, principally in Veneto, Friuli, Lombardy, Sicily, Puglia, Abruzzo and Sardinia.
