Ruby red in colour with deep red highlits at the rim.
The notes of red fruit, in particular cherries and plums, are pristine and immediately pleasing to the palate, slowly giving way to the aroma of spices and herbs.
The suppleness of Merlot blended with the vivacity of Corvina creates a wine with substantial body, that is mature and mouth-filling , where Corvina confers an unexpected vitality.
