GArpaia Likes this wine:
November 12, 2020 - Pale garnet. Intense violet, crushed cherries, sweet spices and touch of wilderness (tar, leather). Vibrant and very drinkable with balsamic profile and delicate drying woody tannins.
Ageing: 24 months in 20 and 40 hectolitres barrels
Principiano uses wild yeast fermentation and organic methods, as well as minimising the sulphur used.2,131 views
