The nose of this Marchesi Antinori red wine reveals all kinds of raspberries and strawberries.

This Italian wine impresses with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine from the Icon wine segment, this Italian wine naturally delights with the finest balance despite its dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily need sugar.
