Ribeiro Santo Vinha da Neve 2013 Tinto Carlos Lucas

€ 51.00

A delicious red wine with a complex and enormously aromatic power. Tones of wild flowers, fresh berries, moist soil and various herbs. With a great mouth structure, the solid tannins are perfectly blended and the barrel is almost imperceptibly present, which contributes to the strengthening of the fruit, very pure and expressive. Optimal sour freshness adds the finishing touch to this elegant, captivating red wine, full of splendor and seductive power. A wine to drink now or to keep
