A blend of sangiovese, montepulciano d’abruzzo, merlot and cabernet sauvignon, is deep ruby red with purple reflections. With aging Decugnano Rosso shows garnet red reflections.
The bouquet is ample, intense, reminiscent of sweet violet, raspberry jam and
underwood, reminiscent of liquorice and juniper berries. This wine is generous at
the taste, agreeably soft, long and intensely sapid.
