Antonioli - Agreste Elegante Rosso 2021
A certified organic blend of Merlot, Barbera, Ciliegiolo, and Sangiovese. This a generous, well-balance red with an intense dark color and aromas of plums and jammy berry fruits. Fresh yet ripe on the palate with a satisfying fullness of blackberries. Good acidity and well-integrated tannins provide a long finish.
