Tip:

The Falstaff wine recommendation

Conti Bossi Fedrigotti Winery
2015 Fojaneghe Rosso Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT (92 Falstaff points)

Powerful, sparkling ruby violet. Medium intensity on the nose of tobacco and cassis. Grippy, gripping tannin on the palate, fine spice, firm pressure on the finish.
