Alois - Trebulanum Casavecchia di Pontelatone Riserva 2017 (750ml) Acqui

Alois - Trebulanum Casavecchia di Pontelatone Riserva 2017 (750ml) AcquiCamphor and mint nuances emerge from the darkly alluring 2017 Casavecchia Riserva Trebulanum. Coaxing brings further depths of flowery underbrush, crushed stones and musky black currants. This is pure elegance on the palate, nearly creamy in feel, with tantalizing acidity and wild berry fruits that traverse both sweet and sour.
