Organoleptic Notes
Bright ruby‑red in color. The nose is intense and elegant with a broad, harmonious bouquet. Pleasant notes of red fruits lead to floral impressions of rose and geranium, while star anise and cloves complete the aromatic spectrum. On the palate the wine is balanced with good structure and soft tannins, reflecting its short barrel maturation.
