Rivera Riserva Il Falcone 2010

Fresh and fruity red made from the assemblage of traditional varieties of the DOC Castel del Monte, including "Nero di Troia", and the international "Cabernet Sauvignon". The result is a wine very easy to drink that expresses a fresh bouquet and floral aroma with notes of black pepper and a pleasing and dynamic palate with a beautiful finish. Soups, pasta sauces and meats are the most appropriate combinations.
