tasting notes
Color: Deep ruby red color with violet hues. Aroma: The aromatic panorama is broad, with immediate floral aromas of roses and fruity aromas of wild berries (especially blueberry jam), followed by spicy notes of liquorice, cumin, white pepper and mineral notes of graphite. Taste: The taste is distinctly textural and voluminous, even if dynamic and with a taste rhythm dictated by vital tannins and vibrant freshness.
