## Summary

Power and elegance on the palate, with thick, sweet tannins. The Gallina hill faces the Albesani hill, and the difference shows in aromas and structure.

## Tasting notes

Garnet red, harmonious on the nose. Notes of violet and undergrowth with spicy hints. Smooth tannic texture. Very long, persistent finish.
