To the eye, it presents an intense ruby red colour, enhanced by a purple rim and bright violet reflections. The bouquet is delicate and layered, characterised by notes of violet that progressively give way to hints of anise, red fruit, and spiced fruit. On the palate, it reveals a \u003cstrong\u003esoft texture\u003c\/strong\u003e and a full-bodied sip, capable of combining remarkable persistence with a lively, refined, and satisfying finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in vineyards located between Rocca Bernarda and San Giovanni al Natisone, in the province of Udine.
