ERASMO CASTELLI red wine top of the production of the Maria Pia Castelli winery. Last bottles left.
Few clusters from each plant, soaked in precious substance, give the nectar that contains the soul of Erasmus. Great personality that is highlighted through the character, the attitudes, the way of behaving and being.
The balance of Erasmo Castelli manifests itself through the fusion of rusticity with elegance, of the softness of the sip with the “physicality” of the tannin, of the great structure with the “lively” acid boost.
