Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

Rubro shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas which start with hints of black cherry, plum and blackberry followed by aromas of violet, cyclamen, blueberry, vanilla, tobacco, pink pepper and carob. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry and plum. Rubro ages for 12 months in barrique followed by 6 months of aging in bottle.
