Intense ruby red color. A clear bouquet of wild visciole “sour” cherries and dark berries. Pleasant taste with the tannins still young and fresh and sour. Long lasting finish with the fruity taste as its final notes.

“Mille” is named after the “1000” who followed and marched with Giuseppe Garibaldi who is considered to be one of the “fathers of Italy”. He commanded and fought in many military campaigns. He gathered his thousand “red shirts” in 1860 and conquered Sicily, gaining the first step to Italy uniting as a country. The thousand, marched across the land that now grows this fine wine that I Cacciagalli wisely named Mille, which translates in English to “1000”.
