Flapper Girl | Campania Piedirosso IGT 2021 | Vernice

A lively and elegant Piedirosso, inspired by the free spirit of the flapper girls of the 1920s

The wine

Flapper Girl is a wine with bright colours and bold aromas, just like the flapper girls of the roaring twenties – icons of style and emancipation. It shows an intense ruby-red hue with floral violet notes, layered with spices and red fruits. On the palate, it is full, fresh and persistent, with raspberry, wild blackberry and a smooth cherry purée finish.
