Rocco di Carpeneto 2019 Losna
Italian Red
$42.99
Black cherry and plum lead a deep, savoury profile, followed by liquorice, tobacco and a dark raisined note edged with cocoa. Dry and medium-to-full bodied, the palate brings firm tannins and energetic acidity to the ripe fruit, keeping the wine structured rather than heavy. Extended maceration and time in older barrels lend depth without obvious sweetness. Pair with braised beef, game, rich pasta or aged hard cheese.
