€19.40
VAT included
Dense and balsamic, for aging in oak barrels. The grapes, harvested from 100% Nero di Troia vines, ferment in steel at a controlled temperature, favoring prolonged contact between the must and the skins. The refinement takes place in French oak barrels barriques-tonneaux. The characteristic bouquet, intense and persistent, with hints of blackberry and ripe plum, and the dense and balsamic flavour, rich in sweet and silky tannins, make Le Cruste the perfect wine to accompany aged cheeses, game and meats in general.
