Tasting Notes

Deep, bright, and clear garnet red.

Elegant and expressive, it combines the freshness of currants and morello cherries with subtle spicy notes and hints of menthol or eucalyptus, typical of Cabernet Sauvignon.

A fresh and crisp attack, a velvety texture, medium body with soft, integrated tannins. The finish is persistent, fruity (red fruits) with a fresh minerality that adds elegance.
