Tasting Notes
-
Wine with a vividly intense color, deep and impenetrable. Its aroma is profoundly 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.
