Copertino Denominaxione di Origine (2001)

Wine tasting 1

Here's another surprise for the night, that no one could guess right. My guess is because it's also a properly aged wine, that gives it all the right characteristics. Although it still has strong smells on the nose, it is soft and round in the mouth. Exceptional value for money.
