Handpicked from the majestic slopes of Rufina, the wine is a masterful blend of complexity and elegance. It boasts a ruby-red hue that reveals tantalising aromas of dark cherries, violets, and a hint of spice. The palate echoes these notes, adding a layer of soft tannins that leave a long, rich finish. Aged meticulously in oak barrels, it exhibits a perfect balance of flavour and structure. Its nuanced composition makes it an excellent accompaniment to hearty meals, a true treasure for wine connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes

This wine is full of juicy, ripe black cherry flavours overlaid with notes of vanilla and summer herbs. On the palate there is wonderful concentration and balance, while the finish is long with firm, fine tannins.
