In the glass, the wine appears a light ruby ​​red color. The nose is aromatic and inviting with notes of juicy red cherries, raspberries and pomegranate, accompanied by subtle floral nuances of violet and rose petals, as well as a discreet spicy note of white pepper and dried herbs.

The palate is fresh, silky and characterised by pure, juicy fruit. It has a medium body with fine, elegant tannins and a lively acidity that gives the wine energy and balance. The finish is long and persistent with delicate spicy notes that add depth without overpowering the finesse of the fruit.
