VDF "Valle di Nero" (Red) 2013

A vibrant ruby colour and a nose packed with sharp cranberries, wild berries and white pepper spice. This is carries through on the palate, with delicate tannins and a long spicy finish.

Jean-Charles Abbatucci is known for his passion for both nature and innovation. He famously said "I believe in the future, because I believe in nature. When we take one step towards nature, it takes 10 toward us" This passion is reflected in each cuvée he produces.
