Purple red color.
The nose has clear and exuberant aromas of fruit, with cherries and black cherries to excel. When the glass is shaken, the berries arrive: blackberry, blueberry and strawberry. The bouquet of flowers is very pleasant, with geraniums and some gusts of red rose petals.
The palate shows a presence, with a substantial balance between Form and Substance. On the side of hardness we have a thin texture of tannins, with gentle features. Heat expressed by the alcohol content, a slight residual sugar and the creaminess of the poly alcohols, draw a beautiful picture of softness Pleasant for the extreme ease in drinking it.
In total balance: the perfect vintage with a climatic profile gives us a ready-made wine. The finish is long and persistent. In the back smell aromas of ripe fruit and under wood arrive.
