Description
Forgive my immodesty... When you start a project there is an enthusiasm that helps you throw your heart over the obstacle, to look to the future. This, on the other hand, is a test of maturity where the wine expresses itself in its broad, sumptuous characters, the acidic texture is reflected in the body acquired and in the aromas, as in a game of mirrors that multiplies the sensations. A wine that accompanies those who consume it on a journey, made up of small and great sensations. (Federico Curtaz)
