Lunae Colli di Luni DOC Rosso "Niccolò V" 2023

A red wine from Liguria, made by Cantine Lunae di Paolo Bosoni under the Colli di Luni DOC. It is a blend of sangiovese, merlot and pollera nera, vinified in steel and aged for at least 18 months in French oak barriques. The wine revives the papal wine of the region and marks the sixth centenary of the birth of Pope Niccolò V. It is an elegant, refined, deep and long-lived Ligurian red, ruby in colour with purple hints. The nose shows black pepper, cinnamon, moss, leather, tobacco, chocolate and red fruit preserves. The palate is energetic and vigorous, warm and enveloping, with plenty of body. It suits braised meats, stews and spicy cheeses.
