Description

Nerobaronj is a historic Pachino cru with a subtle and penetrating character. The particularly sweet and subtle tannic texture, flanked by a generosity of fruit and an enveloping fullness of body, enhance an aromatic spectrum of rare clarity, strongly focussed on the most elegant notes of spices and vegetable tones, from caper to oregano, thyme to eucalyptus and dried tomato.
