Tasting Notes
In the glass it is limpid, with a bright ruby red color, good consistency.
The olfactory range is quite complex and intense. It opens with intense fruity notes that recall small red berries: currant, blackberry, blueberry and cherry, followed by enveloping hints of sweet spices and an almost imperceptible balsamic note in the finish.
The sip is structured, enveloping, with a good tannic texture. Overall well balanced in its components. In the finish it gives a persistent aftertaste of ripe fruit.
