TASTING NOTES
In the glass, the wine displays a deep, brilliant color, with ruby hues tending towards violet, both intense and radiant. The nose, marked by a lovely freshness, is opulent and complex, unfolding aromas of ripe dark fruits, dominated by blackcurrant. On the palate, the attack is crisp and flavorful, supported by a satisfying texture and cherry notes. The structure is harmonious, sustained by silky tannins, a beautiful minerality, and a subtle salinity that lingers on the finish. Overall, it enchants with its fine balance between structure and acidity, promising excellent aging potential in the bottle
