Tasting Notes

A deep red with violet reflections, indicating youth and concentration.

Intense and expressive, with aromas of ripe black fruits such as blackberry and cassis, accompanied by delicate floral notes, hints of licorice, graphite and subtle spicy and toasty nuances derived from its aging in oak.

A fresh and balanced entry, with soft, rounded tannins that provide structure without harshness. The wine displays excellent harmony between fruit and oak, with a persistent and elegant finish, leaving a mineral sensation and a lingering memory of berries and spices.
