Thus, prestigious labels are born, rich in personality and still crafted with artisanal passion.In the glass, it presents a light ruby red color, with slight garnet hues. The bouquet offers aromas of raspberry, wild strawberries, red berry fruits, spicy notes, and wild herbs from the Mediterranean scrub. The sip is long and deep, tense and energetic, with lively tannins and a pleasant finish on mineral tones.
