The inky deepness of the ruby colour concedes just a purplish rim, opening into a very intense nose with brisk mineral notes of pencil lead and dark fruit with blackberry to the fore, and slightly balsamic nuances in the background. The palate attack is always very soft and caressing thanks to the sweet tannins. The typical acidity of these grapes ushers in a pleasant freshness and gives the wine its dynamic palate, making it easier to appreciate its structure and depth. A lengthy finale echoes the ripe fruit of the bouquet.
