Il Burbero 2017 - Collecapretta

Burbero - Collecapretta

The Burbero is a red wine obtained from vines of Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo and Merlot grown in the hills and raised to the back as in the old peasant tradition. Harvesting was delayed leaving the grapes slightly melting into the vineyard. Spontaneous agitation in concrete tanks. The Burbero has a unique character where mature notes are the basis of its charm. The nose scents are of dried fruit and dried flowers and in the mouth the taste is firm and dry. Long finish where cloves, dried plums and salt return.
