The sandy-loam soils, partly calcareous, help define a taut, precise profile deeply connected to the territory. The result is a red of strong personality, capable of combining youthful energy and evolutionary finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosso del Conte 2018 presents itself as a structured red, with a profile that leans towards richness without losing momentum.
