Generale

Note di degustazione (Suggerito):Our Winemaker's Comments: Spicy, perfumed aroma of violets with ripe blueberry and blackberry fruits. Solid palate with great fruit intensity, some leather notes adding complexity. Well structured with firm tannins and excellent balance. Will improve with bottle age but showing well already.

Vinificazione
