THE SOMMELIER'S COMMENTS
Ruby red with garnet reflections; the nose is initially a little closed but opens immediately on characteristic varietal scents net and ripe, with recognitions of Vignola cherries, red fruits, blackberries, cedar, cinnamon, caramel and oak.<br /> Palate of considerable thickness, warm, soft, with powerful tannins balanced by a fully ripe fruit, with sensations of blackberries, duroni, oak and tar. Closes with a very long aromatic persistence, marked by a strong alcoholic component.
