Introduction: The 2019 Cantina Tombacco Biferno Rosso Riserva DOC is a bold and structured red wine from the Molise region of Italy. Aged to develop complexity, this Riserva showcases the rich terroir of Biferno with deep fruit, spice, and earthy undertones.

Terrior: The Molise region features a mix of coastal and inland mountainous influences, with limestone-rich soils that contribute to the wine’s structure and minerality. The climate provides warm days and cool nights, allowing for balanced ripening.

Appearance: Deep ruby red with garnet reflections, indicating some evolution from aging.

Nose: Intense aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, layered with notes of leather, tobacco, and baking spices. Subtle hints of dried herbs and earthy undertones add complexity.

Palate: Full-bodied with velvety tannins and a well-integrated acidity. Flavors of black cherry, cassis, and plum dominate, supported by hints of vanilla, cocoa, and spice from oak aging. Earthy and slightly smoky notes emerge as the wine opens up.

Finish: Long and persistent, with lingering dark fruit, spice, and a touch of balsamic character.

Overall Impression: A well-structured and elegant Riserva with a rich profile and aging potential. Ideal for pairing with roasted meats, aged cheeses, and hearty pasta dishes.
