Vigna nica

Tasting the Red Mamertino Riserva 2014 of the Vigna nica means stopping time and getting lost in an elegance of flavours which emanate thanks  to the long aging in wood.  Savouring, sip by sip, not  only a wine fit for a special dish, but also the long wait and hard work by the people who, with great satisfaction, produced it.
