Red intense. Complex and elegant. Early spicy hints, such as vanilla and sweet paprika, are in full harmony with notes of berries, blackberries and delicate sensations of Mediterranean herbs and lavender. The wine is silky and structured. The finish, harmonious and persistent, presents notes of blueberry chocolate and licorice.
