NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Paternoster Synthesi is a vibrant and intense Italian red with an intense ruby color that coats the glass.On the nose, it offers aromas of spices, ripe dark fruits and a hint of dried herbs. The palate is full of ripe fruit flavors, with blackberry and blueberry notes that are joined by hints of pepper and tobacco. The tannins are muscular without giving any impression of austerity to the wine. The finish is persistent and concentrated with a pleasantly lingering taste of spices that complement the dark bramble fruit character.
