Dark red. With its complex notes of minerals, cocoa, licorice and sweet dark fruit, this normale offers plenty of character and length in a potent style. Not surprisingly, in this vintage Serralunga fruit dominates the blend. It is an excellent introduction to the vintage and should drink well to age at least age 15.
