Tasting Note

Its color is a pale pink almost gray. On the nose, this wine has a lot of finesse, but lets burst an elegant aromatic palate of red fruits like raspberries, cherries and blackcurrants. On the palate, it has a lovely attack that releases all its freshness. The balance between acidity and aroma produces a wine of extreme finesse.
