The 2011 Vespa Rosso is a blend of 50% Merlot, 30% Refosco, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. The wine is fermented in open tonneaux and later aged in French barrique. This vintage presents a slightly edgy and raw personality with bold aromas of black cherry, strawberry, smoke and black olive. You can definitely feel some of the fruit ripeness apparent in this warm vintage.
