Wine of a deep red color with violet reflections. Intense, grassy fragrance, typical of the varietal, with notes that recall the wild blackberry, berries and plums; during the maturation process the aromatic notes are developed due to the aging in barrels. A rich taste, slightly tannic and pleasantly bitter. AWARDS: Due stelle ★★ Veronelli Guida Oro 2021
