Archè is La Colombera's barrique-aged Croatina, from grapes vinified in purity, built for a few years of cellar rest.

## Tasting notes

Intense and complex on the nose; time in wood adds spicy, balsamic and aromatic herb notes to the fruity bouquet of red fruit jam. The structure is generally harmonic, intense and persistent, especially after some years resting in the cellar.
