NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, you will be greeted with a bouquet of red fruits, such as ripe cherries and raspberries, accompanied by delicate floral notes of violets and roses.These aromas are further enhanced by subtle hints of earthiness and spices, adding layers of complexity to the wine.
The palate is equally impressive, with a silky and velvety texture that coats the mouth. The flavors of red fruits continue to dominate, with additional notes of blackberries and plums coming into play. The wine displays a perfect balance between fruitiness and acidity, resulting in a harmonious and well-structured profile.
The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and refinement. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and seamless experience from start to finish.
