Cottanera L'Ardenza 2011
Ardenza is a very particular rich ruby red wine, pure Mondeuse, a grape typical of Upper Savoy. Enchanting from the first smell of its extraordinary, elegant bouquet. Fresh vegetal notes lead on to intense, fruity hints of morello, cherry and blueberry, which blend well with pleasant, fine mineral and spicy scents. Pleasantly creamy on the palate, it is well sustained by dense noble tannins and a pleasing full-bodied taste. Long lasting, persistent aftertaste.
