Tasting notes
Wine of great solar and mineral elegance. Its dress is a beautiful carmine red. It is floral (violets, roses) and fruity (blackberries, vine peach) with notes of liquorice. It is a gourmet, elegant and deep wine, with a beautiful structure which brings a nice tension on the finish. Appreciable now but designed to keep.
