TASTING NOTES

Medium to low intensity, with a bright ruby color, it has a very light and delicate appearance. On the nose, it highlights berries and red fruits, surrounded by spicy and balsamic aromas, with hints of bay leaf and eucalyptus, as well as pleasant toasted notes. The palate is fresh and light, very lively yet expansive, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure and an aromatic retro-nasal finish.
