Tasting notes
The name of the wine “Cerasuolo” derives from the typical color of the cherry, called Cerasa in Abruzzi dialect. Intense and bright cherry pink with orange reflections. On the nose it releases notes of cherry, wild strawberries and currants, and delicate hints of rose. The sip is driven by an 'excellent freshness and savouriness. On the palate it is crispy and juicy. In addition, its barely noticeable tannin makes it a long-lasting and well-structured wine.
