Tasting notes
Antrum is an aristocratic, precious, authentic Montepulciano d’Abruzzo.Deep red ruby, it  intensely smells of violet, faded roses, licorice and of a pleasant hint of bitter almond.  The body is generous and vigorous, quite tannic,  warm, and soft,in the mouth it confirms the  previous olfactory sensations, even enriched by the classic, but not prevalent,  spicy taste given by the french oak barriques. Elegant, persistent and round the  finish.
