This wine, a Kermit Lynch selection, comes from Valle d'Aosta, a mountainous area in the extreme northwest of Italy, near the border with France. It's a cool climate that gets abundant sunshines. The grapes are Petit Rouge (90%) and Mayolot (10%), and the wine after malolactic fermentation is aged in stainless steel and a small amount of wood for eight monrhs.
Bright red, medium dark. Fresh, fresh, fresh aromas of violets and red fruit. Fruity but very dry on the palate. Essence of red raspberries, red plums, spice and black pepper. Intense flavors that seem to hit all the taste buds. Hard to quit sniffing and sipping.
