Description
Biondi’s Outis Rosso is made of Nerello Mascalese, with the permitted addition of up to 20% Nerello Cappuccio, of which Ciro Biondi takes full advantage. It shows an almost Burgundian combination of finesse and substance, leaving a wonderful lingering impression on the palate. The wine is aged for 10 months in French oak barriques. This process endows the wine with soft tannins and an elegant structure.
Tasting Notes :
The result is a light-medium red Pinot-like color in the glass. Shows aromas of red and black fruits, with balsamic hints. Medium weight on the palate but very flavorful, with a long on the finish and excellent balance. This wine has far more weight and complexity than you’d expect from the relatively pale color.
