Tasting Notes

Visual Appearance

Brilliant and vibrant ruby red

Aromatic Sensations

Intense and fragrant, with dominant notes of fresh red fruit like cherry and marasca cherry, followed by floral hints of violet and a light touch of spice

Taste-Olfactory Sensations

On the palate, it is fresh, agile, and wonderfully drinkable. The tannins are present but soft and well-integrated.
The finish is savory and persistent, with a pleasant fruity return.
