Tasting Notes
-
Vivid ruby red color. The wine presents a bouquet profoundly of cherry, ripe fruit and balsamic spice. On the palate it is rich and potently warm with a perfectly balanced
acidity and minerality that conveys the volcanic nuances of the terrain. Sweet and silky tannins with an intense and persistent aftertaste.
