NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The bouquet of this wine is a delightful interplay of lovely floral notes, featuring enchanting aromas of plum, blackberry, cocoa, and a hint of cinnamon.On the palate, the experience unfolds with sweetness, a lush and round character that captivates the senses. There's a slightly high-toned quality adding to the wine's showy personality. The finish is broad, sweet, and long-lasting, leaving a memorable impression. The dusty tannins provide structure, and while the complexity is moderate, it enhances the overall appeal. Crafted from a blend of Salamino, Malbo Gentile, and Ancellotta, this wine is a harmonious composition that showcases both elegance and vibrancy.
