Tasting Notes
Rian is an ideal wine to drink every day: persuasive and full, it goes well
with tomato based pasta dishes and grilled meat.
Like all the other Cascina Bruciata wines, the Rian has a great personality:
on the nose it offers scents of spice, with unmistakable notes of wild
fennel and fruit, and gives the perception of ripe plums.
You will be pleasantly surprised by the balance between its easy approach
and its intensity.
The Dolcetto Rian is a fantastic value.
