Bacio Rosso | Campania Primitivo IGT | Vernice

A warm, full-bodied Primitivo embracing the soul of Campania

The wine

A warm and enveloping red, evoking the same intense emotion as a kiss. With its deep ruby-red colour and purple highlights, Bacio Rosso stands out for its rich and complex bouquet: notes of black cherry, ripe plum and blackberry mingle with hints of spices, dark chocolate and dried figs. On the palate it is full-bodied, velvety and perfectly balanced between smoothness and freshness.
