Tasting
Bright garnet-red color with subtle violet highlights.
The nose, both expressive and refined, opens on aromas of fresh red fruits,
lifted by a touch of menthol and a bouquet of Mediterranean spices.
On the palate, freshness and tension assert themselves with elegance. The
supple, delicate texture is accompanied by notes of raspberry and fresh fig,
giving the wine a joyful, inviting character. The finish, carried by well-integrated,
refined tannins, defines a harmonious and well-balanced wine.
