Vigneti Massa Pertichetta Vino Rosso

A red wine from Vigneti Massa in Piemonte, the estate of Walter Massa, known as the father of Timorasso. Pertichetta is a tribute to local farming traditions, and its name comes from the Piedmontese dialect word for a hectare. It is a red of great depth that holds well over time. The colour is an intense garnet. The nose opens with dried red flowers, then overripe fruit and wild berry jam, with earthy tertiary notes of soil, tobacco, leather and black pepper. The palate is broad, full-bodied and structured, warm and enveloping, with a long finish. Stews, grilled red meats and aged cheeses suit it well.
