This red wine has the same grape composition as the regular non-barrel aged Colli di Faenza Rosso DOC, which is slightly different than what we usually see in Colli di Faenza, namely Cabernet Sauvignon grapes (40-60%), with Ancellotta grapes and/or Ciliegiolo and/or Merlot and/or Sangiovese grapes (40-60%).
Colli di Faenza Rosso Riserva DOC has a dark ruby red color and an ethereal scent, with pleasant, herbal notes. The taste is dry and full-bodied, sometimes with a light tannic aftertaste.
The minimum mandatory aging period is 2 years and the aging potential is 8-9 years.
The wine is best enjoyed with red meat.

That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
The name Piemonte means “at the foot of the mountains”, which, together with its beautiful location at the foot of the Alps, fits just fine. Besides wine, the region is also known for its truffles and nuts. The capital city is Turin.
