Sanserino is produced from Aglianico grapes and from a small percentage of Sangiovese grapes cultivated in our vineyards. It’s a light, lively and aromatic red wine which should be served at a cool temperature.
It should be smelled with eyes closed to fully appreciate the aromas in all its nuances and to capture its essence, as fascinating as the land it is originates from.
