Tasting Note

Very intense and concentrated ruby red color. The nose is impressive for the bouquet of ripe fruit among which the raspberry stands out. There is an attractive alternation with balsamic hints of fresh mint and myrtle, refined spicy notes of turmeric and cinnamon complete the bouquet. On the palate it has an elegant tannic texture finely integrated with the freshness and the herbal finish. A combination that gives an extraordinarily long finish.
