Tasting Notes

The colour of this wine, with sparkling reflections, is intense and deep. Its complex nose combines black fruits (blackcurrant, black cherry, blueberry) and local smoky notes, with a touch of spices and pepper. The palate is soft and silky, evolves towards a full and harmonious mouthfeel. A nice balance between tannins and freshness, which develops through a very nice length.
