NV Castello del Poggio Sweet Red

Estate: Castello del Poggio

Region: Italy



Tasting Note:April 11, 2018

Light ruby red, quite translucent. Fresh fruit in the nose with grape juice, violets, plush raspberries and a bit stoney. Balanced acidity and tannins (4.5/10) with light plus bodied. Smooth on the palate with flavors similar to grapetizer. Medium length finish.


This Sweet Red is a part of Castello del Poggio's Hello Sweet Life range which brings the Italian lighthearted way of living in a bottle to their consumers. As they say on their website. Life is simple.


We played around with these Hello Sweet Life collection wines with a cheese pairing. This Sweet Red was paired with an Amish Blue Cheese, both complemented each over nicely.
