Il Rosso dell'Abazia

The Rosso dell’Abazia is the first wine made by Francesco and Antonello. It is his most prized wine: it’s been awarded the “Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri” for the 21st time.

This ROSSO is of a ruby red bright color with slight reflections of pomegranate and it has an optimum texture.

The first impression in the nose is captivating and shows a complex fruitiness including a hint of dried red plums, sour cherries and candied citrus fruits. After that you can observe a hint of herbs of hay, aromatic herbs, myrtle berries and bay as well as impressions of flowers as for example bloomed violets and eucalyptus.

In the mouth the perception is fresh and at the same time warm, comfortable and pleasant. The wine opens to its “young” but soft and harmoniously integrated tannins; the finish is long, fruity and spicy with a harmonic and persistent body.
