About the Winery

Appearance:
Intense, bright garnet color with a deep robe and ruby highlights at the rim, denoting its evolution and elegance.

Nose:
Complex and sophisticated aroma, with notes of licorice and forest fruits, accompanied by spicy nuances such as clove, cigar leaf, and dark chocolate, the result of its aging in oak. Subtle hints of roasted coffee, caramel, and light balsamic notes are perceived, all in perfect balance.

Palate:
Fine and elegant attack, with a deep and structured mid-palate. The texture is silky, with gentle tannins that envelop the palate. The balanced acidity brings freshness and liveliness, prolonging the finish, which is long, complex, and with an aftertaste where notes of ripe fruit, spices, and a touch of fine wood return.

A wine that is prominent for its harmony and aging potential, offering a unique sensory experience with every sip.

Safe shipping and tracking at all times.
