Intrivigne Antica Vigna
The "Antica Vigna" is a blend of 80% Cabernet sauvignon and 20% Raboso, a red variety native to the Veneto region, Italy. The name stems from the "rabbioso" (angry) nature of its very astringent character, due to the thick dark skins of the grape. Blended with ripe Cabernet, the combination provides a dry red wine with extra complexity and longevity. Lush blackberry, currant and plum fruit on the palate with a touch of vanilla from aging in oak barrique. Perfect gift! AVIW00 AVIW00
