Tastings Notes

Beautiful aromas of ripe red and black fruits with hints of earth, black pepper and violet. The palate is dense and sapid with supple strawberry and blackberry liqueur and mineral flavors lifted by bright acidity. The fruit is quite ripe and the wine is well balanced. The limestone subsoil brings minerality and freshness with fine tannins.
