Tasting Notes
-
The 2017 Venusa Rosso has an intense ruby color with delicate violet highlights. It smells like wildflowers from the lagoon, red cherries, strawberries, and dried herbs. The taste is fresh and crisp with notes of mint and a touch of red currant. The finish is strong and savory. The acidity gives it an enjoyable crispness and makes it easy to drink.
