Curtefranca rosso finds its origins in the farming tradition:
Merlot, Cabernet franc and sauvignon create the right balance in a harmoniously full-bodied yet smooth and pleasant wine.
Organic farming, together with the respect for nature exalts what the territory has to offer: the result is a wine with elegant notes, spice flavors and scents of berries, making this wine great if combined with our cuisine, especially meat and skewers.
