Strozza Preti
Intense dark rosè like fire, with purple red highlights.
Nose: intense hints of red fruit, as for a red wine, but with a pleasant freshness, and strawberry, crisp almond aroma.
Taste: it is an “electric” wine of 14.5% Abv and you can feel them all, in the mouth it is powerful, with balanced softness and acidity, very persistent.
This wine is the result of a bet won.
In the glass it is a “rude” wine which amazes with truthful power.
At the table its fresh color fools the diner with eclectic pairings, from “brodetti” fish in tomato soup to red meats. Powerful with spicy dishes. Fresh and pleasant but with the structure of a great red. That’s why it should be tasted as if it were a red wine but at the temperature of a white one.
