Takes its name from the free-spirited gentleman named Bruscone who lived in the woods of the Barbi Estate. Ruby with bright aromas of red berry fruits and wild flower notes. On the palate strawberry and cherry flavors, well balanced with avidity & fine tannins. Lingering finish ending with earthy tones. Nice value.

Smooth. Low on acidity which affects finish. Better after it opens up a bit.

Fresh rusticity but still quite elegant mid section. very wide on the palate good length. Earthy juicy tangy... can't wait for the sausages

great aroma i thought but lacks the finish it needed - still a good drink that i would try again.
