Illegal 2018 - Franco Terpin

Illegal - Franco Terpin

Franco Terpin's IlLegal is a wine macerated on the skins made with "I don't know" grapes that come from an unknown vineyard. A crazy wine which is striking for its magnificent coppery yellow colour, for the fragrant fruity and floral aromas, for the rustic freshness and for the soft and light tannic texture. Left to mature for a few months in large wooden barrels, before being bottled without filtration or clarification. A wine that expresses the territory with strength and personality.

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature of 12/14 ° in tulip goblets. Daily wine that holds a few years in the cellar.

Pairing

Great to match with fish dishes, to try with a salad of turnips and shrimp.
