Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✭

The wine shows a garnet red color, moderate transparency. The nose is clean and well defined, rich of intense fruit aromas such as black cherry, strawberry jam, raspberry, blackberry, dried plum followed by violet and hints of leather, anise and menthol. The mouth has a good correspondence to the nose and denotes good flavors of fruit and a good balance between alcohol and tannins. A wine of good elegance and personality. The finish is persistent with pleasing flavors of black cherry, blackberry and strawberry jam. The wine is produced with skins maceration for 25 days followed by a 16 months aging in cask.
