Tasting Notes

Ruby red with garnet highlights, showing good concentration and youth.

Pronounced aromas of ripe red fruits like cherry and raspberry, combined with earthy and mineral notes and hints of mild spices (black pepper and clove). Delicate nuances of tobacco and cocoa, imparted by aging, also emerge.

A medium-bodied wine with firm yet well-integrated tannins that provide body without sacrificing elegance. Balanced acidity lends freshness and persistence, while the flavors evoke ripe red fruit and a subtle minerality. The finish is long, leaving a pleasant earthy and spicy aftertaste.
