Casanuova di Nittardi, Vigna Doghessa 2018

Intense red and black fruit character - ripe cherries and blackberries dominate, with interesting exotic spices and well integrated oak notes. The palate has a beautifully juicy and elegant structure with an important tannic backbone that gives length to the wine and will make it age very gracefully.
