Bonorli Toscana IGT, Fattorie Melini - 0,75L AVB 14%
A ruby red colour with purple tinges; a vinous bouquet with charming hints of wild mixed berries, irises and sweet violets; a smooth, agreeable flavour, easy to drink, with a lingering, pleasant aftertaste of blackberries and raspberries. The unusual name and elegant stylized image that identify this wine were inspired by the plough blade – “coltro” in Italian – that turns the soil to free it from the stones and make it fertile. The tilled, cultivated soil produces Sangiovese, Cabernet and Merlot grapes.
