A jewel of Puglia - Torrevento's Vigna Pedale Castel del Monte Rosso Riserva is a gorgeous intense ruby red colour with purple hues. You'll find seductive aromas of wild berries and cherries with some spicy notes of black pepper, coffee, bayberries and thyme.
On the palate, it's pretty powerful with rustic tannins and exceedingly spicy flavours balanced with some fruityness and freshness. It's a well balanced, elegant wine with power yet not-too-much alcohol. Perfect with meat which is why we included it in our Summer Survival box!
