Independent Wine

independent wine ridolfi red

Independent Wines have a range of fabulous wines to choose from, like this Ridolfi Fiero 2017 (13.5%). It’s a bold wine with a mild oaky coffee, plum and pepper aroma and a dark fruit taste of sour cherries and blackberries. This is towards the drier end of the scale with a reasonable tannin level and some sediment in the bottle. Best enjoyed with food, we would recommend venison, game or duck.
