More about the wine:
"This wine impresses us for the hue, intensity, and the extraordinary beauty of its color. A beautiful set of garnets and rubies that illuminate the crystal goblet. Wine perfectly brilliant, that leaves traces vinous dense walls of glass. Its alcoholic strength is expressed as an abundant formation of arches and tears. We are surprised by the intensity, richness and great length of the bouquet. The characteristics of the grape varieties are enriched with extended sensations net and elegant that remind us of the ripe fruits of black cherries, blueberries and peach jam. Nuance floral "mountain hay" licorice and tobacco are giving way to those noble tertiary aromas that have formed, initially in oak casks of 15/20 hl. and subsequently reduced in the environment of the bottle. Vanilla and hints of wild berries and fine woods complement the olfactory sensations. On the palate we start a warm and enveloping. Evident but soft tannins and good acid presence enhances the structure of wine powerful, rich, suitable for long years of aging. In the mouth flavors of find even more intense, all the feelings that we had implemented the nose. Very long aromatic finish. In conclusion, we are, right now, in front of an austere wine and generous, important. A wine that does provide for a very long life. A sure promise for the future. A prestigious wine that will give its admirers feelings and memories that you will not forget so easily." - Winery
