SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS:
From pure primitivo grapes, in the glass it presents an intense ruby red colour, sometimes showing a few garnet-coloured reflections. This is a very interesting wine with a bouquet of decided personality – notes of ripe fruits and aromas of spices, thanks also to its partial aging in barriques. Particularly refined and elegant, to the palate it is well-balanced between all its components, with a pleasant prevalence of the typical aromatic notes of this variety.
