Fruity & Powerful

Villanoviana, Imeneo

Red wine | Bolgheri DOC

A great terroir that expresses itself without restraint!
Imeneo red wine, a typical Bordeaux blend from Bolgheri, offers aromas of blackberry, plum, followed by spicy notes of black pepper and nutmeg. On the palate, it is elegant, velvety, with a freshness well integrated into the substance, until a long finish. An expressive wine thanks to the very gentle methods of Azienda Villanoviana, which only uses natural products in the vineyard, for example producing its own fertilizer!

This biological technique ensures the supply of a wide variety of microorganisms and nutrients. Proximity to the sea and exposure to the sun give the wines minerality and acidity, characteristics of the terroir from which they come.
