Coré

Wine Negroamaro rosè I.G.P. Salento

It is the wine of one night, which comes out of the vat in the morning and is ready to offer its intense and bright coral pink, its elegant ripe fruit aroma with notes of wild rose, which we also find in its fresh and harmonious taste. The name of this rosè celebrates the Marquise Luisa Casati Stampa, called Corè, one of Gabriele D’Annunzio’s favorite lovers.
