Curtefranca Rosso 2004
D.O.C. V.Q.P.R.D.

Laden ruby red colour with purple tinges. Scents of red fruits (cherry, blackberry, plum) and of wild fruits. Succulent, good body with a full and occasionally vinous flavour, complex with herby notes due to the strong presence of Cabernet. Pleasant when young, but capable of improvement over the long term with a surprisingly positive evolution.
