NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, aromas of ripe red cherries, blackberries, and plums take center stage, accompanied by subtle hints of violet and spice.These enticing scents create an inviting bouquet that entices the senses.
Upon tasting, the wine reveals a medium body with a smooth and velvety texture. The flavors of juicy cherries and dark berries dominate the palate, complemented by a touch of earthiness and a hint of spice and anise. The well-integrated tannins provide structure and balance, while the lively acidity adds freshness and vibrancy to the overall profile.
