ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
The Fioranello Rosso is an intense, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with bold black-fruit aromas, plus spice and woody nuances. A twelve-month rest in used oak casks imbues the balanced, velvety palate with vanilla and spice notes. A red wine with an intense ruby color, with bold and persistent aromas that recall black fruits like blackberry and blueberry. This is accompanied by scents of spice and an elegant vanilla note, along with an austere note from bottle aging. The mouthfeel is balanced, persistent and quite elegant.
