2016 | Farnese Vini | Fantini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Ruby red with garnet reflections, the bouquet is fruity and quite persistent, reminiscent of red fruits, marasca cherries, and plums with vanilla nuances. Full-bodied on the palate, with good balance and firm tannin's. Immediately appealing and versatile.
