Notes on the Wine
Deep ruby red color with light violet trims. On the nose the wine is fragrant and fruity with fresh notes of wild cherries and sweet spice. In the mouth it reveals floral and herbal notes with velvety and round flavors. The finishing is delicate and persistent. Zacinto – one of the farmers in Masseria Cuturi, who was madly in love with the grape variety Negroamaro. He secretly made batches of the wine for himself and hid them. His legend lives on.
