Raverosse gets its name from the red limestone that is found in the soil where these vines grow in the volcanic hills of Cori south of Rome.

Uncertified Organic Wine (Producer states they do not use artificial fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. While we cannot prove the veracity of this, we also have no reason to believe it is not true.)

Tasting notes: This wine offers deep, rich aromas and flavors suggesting dark red berry fruit laced with hints of fresh-baked bread and roasted meat.
