Famiglia Pasqua, Romeo & Juliet Passione Sentimento Rosso 2017, Veneto, Italy

Tasting Note: An Italian red blend with an enjoyable mix of ripe and tart fruit that dances across your palate.

Medium-intensity ruby in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of red cherry, black currant, lavender and black plum with hints of kirsch.

On the palate the dry, medium-bodied red blend has ripe, medium-intensity, red-and-black-fruit flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and medium tannin.

The wine has a slightly grippy texture and completes with a medium, floral finish.
