Rigoloccio, Cabernet e Alicante I.G.T.
(KAH-bayr-nay eh ah-lee-KAHN-tay)

 

Tasting Notes: A highly inspired blend of Alicante, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, this wine marries medium-bodied approachability with exceptional zesty flavor. From the famed Maremma in Toscana, the beautiful Rigoloccio estate has a sweeping view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and borrows much of this wine’s fresh, salt and pepper complexion from the “big blue.”
