Tasting Notes
Brilliant, dense, and bright ruby red, the wine is a beautiful hue.
The wine has ample, elegant aromas of red fruit and blueberries on the nose. It has floral notes typical of the Mediterranean regions; it is slightly spicy, with black pepper and nutmeg perfectly integrated into the oak aging.
On the palate, the wine is well-balanced between elegant and firm tannins, with a round, rich, fruity flavor that is long and persistent.
