Tasting Notes

APPEARANCE: Dense ruby red with violet reflections
NOSE: Elegant aromas of small dark fruits (blackberry, red mulberry, amarena and 'ferrovia' cherry) and delicate floral notes (violet), with a background of aromatic herbs, licorice and graphite
TASTE: It bursts on the palate with a very long, silky texture and wonderful retronasal echoes. Supported by tannins of excellent quality. A very rich and endless finish
