Red wine | Abruzzo, Italy
The Cavallo Rosso from the historic Di Camillo winery, established in 1887 in Poggiofiorito, Abruzzo, is a vibrant tribute to the 'Tavola dei Briganti'. This wine captures the rebellious, free-spirited essence of the Majella region, where history and nature intertwine. Crafted as a harmonious cuvée from four expressive, Mediterranean grape varieties—Montepulciano, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Primitivo—this wine offers a modern, approachable, and juicy experience that stands out for its balance and drinkability.
In the glass, the Cavallo Rosso glows with an intense ruby-red hue, often accented by subtle violet reflections. On the nose, it invites you in with a multi-layered bouquet of dark forest fruits, including ripe blackberries, blackcurrants, and plums, complemented by nuanced notes of spice, vanilla, and a delicate touch of cocoa. Upon tasting, the palate is met with a powerful yet lively character; the wine is soft, velvety, and well-structured, supported by a gentle acidity and silky tannins that provide a long, satisfying finish.
This wine is not just a beverage, but a story of the Abruzzo landscape. It reflects the dedication of six generations of the Di Camillo family, who continue to innovate while respecting ancestral traditions. By eschewing plastic capsules and prioritizing recyclable materials, the winery underscores its commitment to sustainability and the natural purity of the region.
Why choose the Cavallo Rosso? It is the ultimate everyday luxury—a versatile companion that shines both as a solo glass and at the dinner table. It pairs exquisitely with hearty, rustic dishes such as grilled meats, robust pasta with tomato-based sauces, or flavorful, aged Italian cheeses. Whether you are hosting a festive dinner or enjoying a quiet evening, the Cavallo Rosso brings a touch of authentic Italian 'gioia di vivere' to your home. It is a reliable, high-quality choice that delivers depth and emotion, making it a perfect addition to any wine lover's collection.
