Tasting Notes
A medium cherry-red intensity, this village appellation has pronounced aromas of ripe red summer fruits, freshly crushed raspberries and red currents with subtle oak flavors.The palate reveals a supple yet firm tannic structure, balanced by generous fruit concentration, spice and black pepper and a long, elegant finish. A wine which expresses its typicity of origin.
