The taste reveals a noble and elegant character: it envelops the palate with a perfect balance between fruity and spicy notes, accompanied by a refined acidity that gives freshness and vivacity. The finish is soft and velvety, thanks to the presence of sweet tannins, and suggests an excellent capacity for aging, which will evolve and enrich itself further over time.
