Clean and bright, with elegant cherry tone, medium-high layer and garnet edge. On the nose it is intense and fragrant with a wide range of balsamic notes (brioche, toasted bread, vanilla, caramel and cinnamon) involving fine aromas of black plum, wild strawberry, ripe currant and red blackberries, providing a fruity and balsamic bouquet. In the mouth it stands out for its good structure, balance, pleasant freshness and soft, friendly tannins from careful aging in barrels. Its finish, fresh and delicate, leaves a long aftertaste.
