Tasting notes
Tyrrhenus, charismatic, proud and fearless prince of the “Tyrrhenoi”, led his people to central Italy, founding the Etruscan civilization and importing wine culture. The prince’s personality served as the inspiration for “Tirrenico”, coming from the Belguardo vineyards that overlook the Tyrrenian sea and benefit from its breezes. Intense, elegant and vibrant, blackcurrant notes, with a fresh and savory finish.
