Casa Santos Lima Bonavita is an inky coloured red wine from Alentejo, with ripe plum and blackcurrant aromas. In the mouth it shows prune, fig and cherry fruit notes. Chocolate and liquorice flavours, given by ageing in oak barrique, dominate a long and smooth aftertaste.
The red wine with the scooter on the label, in a modern design and with a practical screw cap.
