Tasting Notes
-
Vivid ruby red color, it presents a bouquet of fresh red fruit and licorice. Soft and full with well-balanced tannins, acidity and flavor on the palate. This wine is inviting for its fruity aromas on the nose. The palate is both floral and fruity with sensations of freshness and fullness. Its finish is well defined, enduring and persistent and it stands out for its complexity.
