NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Casa Castillo Pie Franco is a lively, juicy red from the Jumilla region of Spain.On the nose it has aromas of dark cherry and blackberry, with a hint of spice. The palate is smooth and balanced, with a touch of oak and a pleasant, lingering finish. The tannins are mild and the acidity is just right.
