Tasting
A deep, dark and vibrant purple. A complex nose blending black fruits, blackberry and blueberry, alongside fresh fruits such as raspberry and redcurrant. On the palate, velvety roundness and silky tannins find harmony through an extreme freshness, a surprising feat for such a sunny year, turning each sip into a perfect balance between indulgence and vivacity.
