Brief Description

Tasting Notes

This Sangiovese Merlot blend has an intense red ruby colour, with violet hue. Powerful and complex nose of cherry, blackberry, violet, sweet spice and dye flowers, with a light oaky hint. Gentle and charming on the palate, with smooth tannins, proper freshness, and delicious mineral finish.
