A fresh red wine bursting with juicy cherry notes and a soft, approachable structure
Cantina Valpantena Torre del Falasco from Valpantena, Italy, is a vibrant, dry Red wine crafted exclusively from Corvina grapes, a varietal celebrated for its expressive fruit.

This wine opens with bright perfumes of juicy red cherries, leading to a soft, approachable palate with well-balanced bitter cherry notes on the finish. Its refreshing profile makes it a versatile companion for a variety of dishes, from classic pasta to poultry or mild cheeses.

Transferred in concrete tanks; there was one final filtration before bottling. There was no oak used in order to highlight its fresh, youthful characteristics.
