La Vigna dei Mille anni 2014 Casa d'Ambra DOC
La Vigna dei Mille anni by Casa d'Ambra is a truly unique wine. Its not at all a fancy name ... The vineyard is in fact dating back to back in 1030 and was inherited by the lawyer. Benedetto Migliaccio who has entrusted it to Amber. The wine, after 18 months of big barrel and bottle aging develops intense and structured with hints of raspberry, currant and ripe plum and with a finish of liquorice. A great product to be missed
