Tasting Notes
The typical climate, granitic soils and altitude favours balanced ripening of the grapes. This is a wine with aromas of spices and ripe fruit, complexed by the barrel ageing. On the planete it has forest fruits combined with vanilla, notes of dark chocolate and vigorous tannins. It´s balanced, complex and persistent.
