The colour is deep red-purple and the aromas recall red cherry, raspberry, violet and a little briar. Its elegantly weighted and fine, with length, harmony and style. The tannins are firm and tight, but without astringency. Stylish.

A blend of cabernet sauvignon, sangiovese and merlot, with cabernet and sangiovese doing the heavy lifting; the bouquet is fragrant and flowery, the medium-bodied palate with a mix of cassis and the latent black olive, earth and violets of the backstage of the bouquet; the crisp finish provides each way drinking.
