Taste The first impression on the palate is one of silky roundness with impressive volume, on extremely fine tannins. On the palate, the wine develops slowly and gradually, following its logical path to a voluptuous mid-palate with beautiful density: always renewed - never intrusive. Aromatic complexity and delightful acidity are omnipresent, with a delicious, long-lasting fruit finish that ensures freshness and momentum.
