Organoleptic Notes

An intense, deep ruby‑red wine with rich, fruity aromas dominated by Marasca cherry. A red rose note adds elegance alongside hints of spice and toast. The finish reveals cinnamon, cloves, thyme, cocoa and tobacco. The palate is fluid and balanced despite the elevated alcohol, with soft yet evident tannins.
