Francesca Fiasco Difesa IGT Paestum Rosso 2018 HighABV The tannins hold off untilOur tasting impressions The aromatic elegance of Difesa is hard to describe, even more so now that this wine is beginning to unwind. The various grapes intermingle seamlessly to produce a wine of precision, sophistication and depth. Dark red fruit flavors are beautifully framed by refined earthy tones. It dances lightly across the palate while enveloping it in a melange of gorgeous fruit, spice and zest. The tannins are incredibly smooth and silky.
