Antonioli | Il Male Minore IGT Umbria Rosso 2021

"Il Male Minore" by Cantina Antonioli is a rebellious, no-frills red that lets the vineyard do the talking. Made from old-vine grapes at 550m asl, this natural beauty is pure, untamed expression—wild berries, earthy spice, and a gentle handshake of tannins. No tricks, no makeup, just honest, soulful winemaking in every sip. The name means "the lesser evil," but trust us, there’s nothing minor about this bottle!
