Owner's words
The wine has a purple garnet colour with sparkling light reflections. The nose is expressive and elegant, characterised by aromas of black and red fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry, wild strawberry, raspberry), with subtle touches of spice. The palate is harmonious and purely fruity, with a remarkable freshness. The structure is silky, with fine and elegant tannins. The finish is long and slightly spicy.
