Pallagrello Nero
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas which start with hints of violet and plum followed by aromas of black cherry, blackberry, blueberry, licorice, tobacco, pink pepper, cocoa and vanilla. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however well balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of plum and black cherry. A well made wine. Pallagrello Nero ages in barrique for about 15 months followed by at least 3 months of aging in bottle.
