## Tasting notes

Colour: intense garnet red with orange reflections. Nose: very elegant, with fresh red fruit, especially morello cherry, undergrowth and tobacco. Palate: tannin present but well balanced with the alcohol, with good structure. Medium-term ageing and earlier drinking thanks to the La Morra soil.
