On the nose it offers a combination of ripe red fruits, delicate spice notes and a light Mediterranean hint; the olfactory impression remains coherent and inviting without excess. On the palate it is balanced, with present but soft tannins, adequate freshness and a pleasant persistence that recalls the fruity sensations perceived on the nose. The drinking experience is harmonious and easy to approach.
