Primo Rosso Isola dei Nuraghi IGT


Tasting Notes
‘Primo Rosso’ is deep ruby red in color. There are rich aromas of ripe wild berry fruit on the nose which continue on the palate. It is well-structured and well-balanced with a long finish. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with a wide variety of cuisine, especially meat-based first courses and fat-rich fish.
