Tasting Notes
Dark carmine-garnet with subtle ochre reflections and a broad rim brightening. Dark forest berry nuances on the nose with a delicate tobacco background and a hint of orange zest. Herbs and nougat also show, along with a mineral touch. Elegant on the palate, with a core of red berry fruit giving texture and good freshness thanks to a vivid acidity structure. Notes of blackberries also emerge to complement the red fruit, and there's plenty of finesse to the lemony finish.
