Organoleptic characteristics
To the eye, it takes on a quite beautiful color, never too intense, but very stable over time. The bouquet is rich, spacious and quite lingering.
It recalls fresh fruit, small fruit in particular, inner-mouth spiciness, mountain hay and autumn leaves. Excellent structure; tannins and acids very nicely in step. It is a wine worthy of the fame it has always enjoyed
