Ruby red with delicate purple nuances. The nose proffers lively notes of ripe red fruit with prominent morello cherry. The intriguing and Mediterranean spiciness is highly pleasurable, spanning from the balsamic notes of the myrtle plant to the sweetness of tobacco. The initial mouthfeel is plush and enveloping, the warm alcohol perfectly counterbalanced by the sustained “marine-like” savoriness. The persistent acid vein, which provides the backbone to the wine, guarantees prolonged longevity. A long and lingering retro-nasal aroma, with a pleasant and delicate note of vanilla from the oak on the finish.
