Why choose Collio Rosso Cuvée Rouge Leopold
Collio Rosso Cuvée Rouge Leopold is a blend of several red grapes grown in Collio, harvested and vinified together to create a harmonious, complex wine.
Maturation in wood and long ageing allow the wine to develop aromatic depth, structure and finesse, while keeping balance and elegance.
Collio and ponca
This wine comes from the hills of Collio, where the ponca soils — layered marl and sandstone — give the wines structure, minerality and the ability to evolve.
