Refined aromatics of flint and chalk lift sweet notes of flowers, honey, and propolis, with subtle spice and marasca cherry/red berry fruit. The palate is elegant and compact, dense and savory, with bright acidity and layers of balsamic tones, herbs, and potpourri. Long, straight, refined tannins add verticality, leading to a long, harmonious finish defined by grace and precision.

"A complex and minerally wine with aromas of crushed stones, graphite, red cherries, licorice, dried flowers and aromatic herbs. Full-bodied, tense and crisp on the palate, with firm, velvety tannins and a juicy, chalky yet ripe finish with fruity and gamy flavors. Best from 2028."
