Agricole Vallone 'Riserva' Vigna Flaminio 2004

-
"Thanks to a well-crafted cuvee of the negroamaro, malvasia nera, and montepulciano varietals from the best Tenuta Flaminio vineyards, the crus Brindisi Rosso shows itself in every sense of the term "cru." It is aged for 8 months in Slovenian oak barrels. While it certainly exhibits the individual characteristics of its component varietals -- the malvasia nera's aromatic elegance, the negroamaro's structure and power, and the montepulciano's velvety fruitiness -- it is also true that Vigna Flaminio Rosso testifies to the exceptional viticultural qualities of the Brindisi terroir." ~Winery Notes
