Tasting Notes
The wine greets the nose with a captivating bouquet of red cherries, wild strawberries, and raspberries, layered with delicate floral aromas of violets and rose petals. Subtle notes of sweet spices, such as cinnamon and clove, mingle with hints of forest floor, truffle, and a touch of smokiness. On the palate, the wine is silky and refined, with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that lifts the fruit. Flavors of red berries, pomegranate, and a whisper of cranberry are complemented by nuances of minerality and fine-grained oak. The finish is long and graceful, leaving a lasting impression of purity and balance.
