Tasting notes

Deep and intense ruby red colour. The scent is characterized by an aromatic complexity where fruity and spicy notes are harmonically and elegantly combined. The taste is underscored by the scent of red fruits and sweet woody undertones. Warm, with a nice fragrance, with vigorous yet delicate tannins. A balsamic undertone of great persistance. Serving temperature: 18-20°
