A luminous ruby-garnet. Already from its aroma, initially closed and then extremely deep, one can tell that something different took place in the wine-making. In fact, the period of maceration extended to a month from the classic three weeks. This was done due to the richness of the harvest and the particularly integral poly-phenolic component. The nose profile is thus very broad, ethereal, with scents of black cherry under spirits, then camphor, tobacco, sweet spices and even balsamic and resiny accents. The taste is immense, with robust and youthful tannins, a significant body with great persistence. A wine that is still young and could easily not be understood and that has a long life ahead of it. The first vintage using 100% new wood. Price: N/A
