Intense bouquet of violet, blackberry, and mulberry fruits, pleasant tension in the mouth with great freshness thanks to good acidity, with typical chalk notes from the soils where its grapes come from with well-integrated oak notes. It has great persistence in the mouth with structured and balanced tannins.
