Tasting note: The wine has a deep, dense purple color.

Complex and multi-layered on the nose – aromas of dark berries such as blackberry and black cherry, complemented by subtle spice notes (pepper, cloves, cinnamon) and a hint of herbs and smoke.

On the palate, it's full-bodied, with silky, well-integrated tannins, fresh acidity, and an elegant minerality. The fruit aromas unfold increasingly with aeration, complemented by delicate roasted notes and a subtle balsamic note. The finish is long, balanced, and complex.

A characterful, terroir-influenced red wine – powerful yet refined, perfect for lovers of elegant, complex wines with depth and aging potential.
