Rosso e Nero is the Admiral’s little brother. Aromas of spicy dark berries dominate, candied orange zest, and wood smoke. On the palate juicy and elegant, with ripe cherry fruit, well integrated fine tannins, and a mineral nutty aftertaste. Like its big brother, the Admiral, the wine has plenty of ageability.
