Vigne Chigi – Pallagrello Nero Wine

Pallagrello is one of the few grapes in the world to be both black and white. A wine so loved by King Ferdinand IV of Bourbon that he ordered the court gardeners to plant it in the spectacular Ventaglio vineyard behind the Royal Palace of Caserta. The wine is powerful but elegant, with a deep ruby colour and great structure. It is aged partly in steel and partly in barriques. The nose immediately reveals scents of fresh jam, raspberries and blueberries. The palate is harmonious, the tannins are soft and elegant, the persistence is long.
