Deep garnet red in color; the nose reveals a beautiful and sensual fragrance with a rich complexity and intense floral component of violet and rose, and a very crisp red fruit, raspberry and strawberry, with notes of black pepper, cloves, and licorice. Its taste is full and mellow, very balanced, with a nice tannic structure. Wine characterized by elegance and finesse. Pairing with steak and veal chop
A restrained wine, showing red currants and red cherries combined with fresh violets and a whiff of licorice. Well-packed, tense and extracted, with a savory palate, medium body, citrus flavors and velvety tannins that turn dustier in the finish. Drink now.
