TASTING NOTES

- colour: intense ruby red.

- aroma: in young wines it stands out for the pleasantness of the intense fruity and floral notes with a hint of medicinal herbs; in the more advanced ones the scents are suggestive, ranging from the warm tones of jam and caramel to the more austere ones of goudron  and lightly toasted with spicy and balsamic nuances. There is always a slight typical herbaceous note that distinguishes it and of undergrowth.

- taste: full, enveloping and harmonious with intense references to red fruit jam and spices that recur. The structure is striking for the softness of the barely perceptible tannins and the volume on the palate. In the finish evident hints of liquorice and goudron tempered by the sensation of bitter chocolate powder and undergrowth.
