Poggio le Volpi Rosso Roma DOC, Lazio, Italy 2021

Description

This expressive red captures the character of Rome’s surrounding hills with a blend of native and international varieties. Deep ruby in color, it opens with aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums layered with notes of violets, sweet spice, and a touch of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate it is plush and generous, with velvety tannins supporting flavors of dark fruit, cocoa, and subtle vanilla. A lively acidity brings balance and lift, while the finish is long and harmonious with hints of earth and spice. Both modern and rooted in tradition, Rosso Roma offers a polished yet approachable style that pairs beautifully with pasta all’amatriciana, roasted meats, or a simple plate of aged pecorino.
