TASTING NOTES

COLOR: Its appearance is a deep gold with reddish glints, reflecting maturation in red wine barrels. The warm, almost amber hue invites exploration of its visual complexities, showing a richness that predisposes to an equally enveloping flavor.

NOSE: As the glass approaches, the first impact is a mix of fruity sweetness, such as plums and ripe red fruits, merging with subtle notes of creamy vanilla and delicate hints of toasted oak. The red wine influence is evident with slightly spicy undertones and a hint of dried herbs, creating a nose that is both vibrant and sophisticated.

TASTE: On the palate, the texture is smooth and silky, unfolding in layers of ripe fruit and a touch of honey. The red wine influence adds a unique complexity, with flavors reminiscent of ripe grapes and a slight aftertaste of warm spice. The oak contributes a light tannin, which perfectly balances the initial sweetness. The finish is long and elegant, with a soft persistence of red fruit and a subtle hint of cocoa and oak.
