Si.Mento Rosso is a soft, elegant, easy-drinking wine, intended for the general public, but above all for young people.
The name Si.Mento is the last part of the word ‘appassi-mento‘, but at the same time it means ‘si, mento‘ in Italian; ‘yes, I’m lying‘. It’s meant as an unloving salute from the orthodox producer in Valpolicella to the southern Italian versions, which are often made with must concentrate instead of dried grapes.
