Grande Passolo Rosso Salento, Rocca Estate

This Grande Passolo is made from carefully chosen Negroamaro and Primivito grapes, softly pressed and refined in big oak casks. The Grande Passolo is becoming an expression of highest quality and top of its range from Rocca Estates Apulian production. It is an intense ruby red in colour and exhales a wide bouquet of ripe red fruit with remarkable scents of raspberries, blackberries, cherries, vanilla and a pleasant unobtrusive hint of oak. 
It has good body and texture, harmoniously round and balanced thanks to its gentle tannins. The nose has wonderful aromatic intensity and pairs perfectly with Mediterranean savoury dishes, roasted red meat and seasoned cheeses.
