Tasting notes:

“While giving a great boost to the glass, this great wine is unwilling to rotate. What a fabulous extract, what almost total concentration blackness. Certainly the tannin is the voice of the powerful structure of this sample, certainly its taste restricts the roundness, but it is in persistence that gradually diminishing the great bitter power of its taste, the world, the essential nature of its fruit balsamically opens up. It then enters the bed of a softness of pulp and sovereign spices, a phase in which the technical value of this sample is perceived: the excellent clarity of its enological transformation, the formidable reserve of residual oxidative integrity, illibità and powerfully new, majestically exhibited ".

Notes of the oenologist:

Wine obtained from selected grapes characterized by a high level of sugar and points of color. The use of medium-toasted French oak barrels gives the wine a hint of wood that is never intrusive.
