Territory and wine style

On the nose, it offers rich and multifaceted aromas of blackberries, sour cherries, violets, licorice, black pepper, and cinnamon, with hints of Mediterranean scrub and myrtle. The palate is full, enveloping, and well-balanced, supported by vibrant freshness, fine tannins, and pronounced savoriness. The taste profile is complex, persistent, and refined by the balance between power and precision.
