VIPRA ROSSA UMBRIA IGT - BIGI
Charm and seduction, in balance with tradition and originality, transform this wine, the name of which was inspired by the noble Orvieto family of Monaldeschi della Vipera, into a special moment of everyday life. Mainly Merlot and Sangiovese grapes from Umbria are separately vinified in steel and, after the malolactic fermentation, a part ages for 8 to 12 months in French oak barriques, Vipra Rossa has a deep ruby colour and an intense bouquet with fruity notes perfectly combined with touches of spice; it has a soft and well balanced flavour. Vipra Rossa was born with the 2002 vintage.
