Tasting
Deep ruby-red color with dark highlights.
The nose is intense and powerful, opening on aromas of black fruits, enhanced by
aromatic notes of Mediterranean garrigue. Toasted oak underscores this aromatic
palette, adding depth and complexity.
On the palate, the attack is full and generous, revealing a silky, rich texture. Flavors of
black cherry emerge, followed by nuances of chocolate and sweet spices. The finish is
long and velvety, defining a refined and harmonious wine
