Rosso della Gobba IGT | Raìna
Rosso della Gobba IGT | Raìna
Wine made with an artisanal spirit, from one of the most interesting winemakers in the Montefalco area. It is a pleasantly fruity, rich and intense red, which perfectly expresses the character of Umbrian reds. In the glass it has a ruby red color with youthful violet reflections. The bouquet recalls aromas of black cherry, plum, red fruit, delicate spicy and floral nuances. On the palate it is of medium structure, with thin tannins, a soft and juicy sip with ripe and satisfying aromas. The finish is fresh and of good aromatic persistence. Unfiltered. Unclarified.

Cantina Raìna was founded in 2002, by Francesco Mariani, vine grower in the region of Montefalco, Umbria. He makes wine from biodynamic grapes together with his friend and assistant Andrea Mattioli.
“Raina" was the nickname of the previous owner of the field where they planted the first of our Sagrantino vines.
This name was chosen to preserve the link between the land and its history.
