Notes

Intense violet colour. Aromas of fruits of the forest: cherry, raspberry, blackberry with a delicate note of vanilla. Soft and smooth in the mouth with a fine vein of acidity typical of the grape and this youthful vineyard. In the mouth flavours recall the forest fruit aromas with chocolate and vanilla. Long length with soft tannins which linger in the mouth with finesse and elegance.
