Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

The wine shows a beautiful deep ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. Elegant nose of personality with refined fruit aromas such as black cherry jam, raspberry, blueberry followed by hints of licorice, violet, vanilla and leather. The mouth reveals a great personality as well as full body: intense with good alcohol well balanced by tannins; excellent correspondence to the nose. The finish is persistent with elegant hints of black cherry jam and raspberry. A wine which promises a very interesting aging in the forthcoming years. This wine is produced with fermentation in steel tanks and is aged in casks for 16 months and at least one year of aging in bottle.
