Marche Cabernet-Sauvignon I.G.T.

Conte Leopoldo

Produced mainly from Cabernet-Sauvignon grapes.

The low production per hectare, the harvesting of the grapes at the right ripeness and the aging in oak barriques give this wine a ruby color with a tendency towards purple and aromas reminiscent of small red fruits, plums and black cherries.

With a consistent, soft and balanced flavour
