The Tasting

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    Cantina Colonnella, with its Barocco 'Riserva', presents itself as a producer that knows how to enhance Montepulciano, a varietal used purely for this sparkling wine. In the glass, this wine reveals itself with an impenetrable red, lit by vibrant intense violet reflections, a prelude to a decisive olfactory experience, where ripe plum and dark spices blend with refreshing balsamic notes.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, its fullness and enveloping character offer an almost reassuring sensation, like a warm embrace, which unfolds further in the glass, revealing a succession of ripe red fruits joined by notes of coffee, purple flowers, and peppercorns. It is a wine that favors the company of grilled red meats and succulent braised beef, but which also knows how to enchant on its own, in front of a fireplace.
