Organoleptic properties

COLOUR: deep, violet-shaded ruby red. Good density.

AROMA: typical and elegant nose, with clean and complex fruit, lightly enriched by spicy hints coming from the old vineyard and from a not overwhelming ageing in wood.

FLAVOUR: The firm body gives the wine a good smoothness, well balanced by the fine tannins, which, in combination with the natural minerality and the well measured acidity, contribute to an elegant, long finish.
