Fattoria Di Monticello Baciavento Umbria Rosso – 2019

Umbria IGT Rosso
Super Umbrian
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot

Baciavento means “kissed by the wind,” a reference to the conditions on the cool, volcanic hillsides between Perugia and Orvieto in Umbria, just southeast of Tuscany in Italy’s vast central valley.

On the Scassini family farm, winemaker Simone Tribolati picks his cabernet sauvignon and merlot by hand, then leaves the wine to age in oak for 6 months to produce a brilliant red in the glass, with a nose of berries and currant. Drink now to 2037.
