Principe Pallavicini, Rubillo Cesanese, IGT

Light to medium ruby, maybe a glint of garnet. Attractive berryish nose. On the palate, light to medium bodied, lovely vivacious fruit. No apparent tannin, no oak, just quality juice and a sprinkling of spice to finish.

Earthy red fruits and somewhat muted.
