Tasting Note

Deep, almost opaque in colour, with intense purple hints. The nose shows an extraordinary freshness and aroma intensity, with floral notes of violet and wild flowers standing out, balanced by aromas of wild berry fruit. The palate is seductive, with a solid structure made of silky, fresh, well-integrated tannins. This is an appealing wine with a long, fresh and lingering finish, which reveals a great ageing potential.
