Intense ruby red color with purple reflections. On the nose it expresses elegant sensations of wild blackberries, cherries, currants and blueberries, together with spicy notes of pepper and cloves. The taste is soft and has an excellent balance between the tannic and the acid component, which helps to give it good persistence.
