Organoleptic characteristics
To the eye, it takes on a quite beautiful
color, never too intense, but very stable
over time. The bouquet is rich, spacious
and quite lingering.
It recalls fresh fruit, small fruit in
particular, inner-mouth spiciness,
mountain hay and autumn leaves.
Excellent structure; tannins and
acids very nicely in step.
IT IS a wine worthy of the fame it has
always enjoyed.
