The Sommelier's View: Tasting Profile

• Colour: Intense ruby-garnet, promising a long life.
• Nose: Highly expressive, unfolding with layers of dark cherry, plum conserve, and savoury hints of sage, violet, and blood orange. The mineral core of the Serralunga terroir is evident, with notes of crushed stone and balsamic lift.
• Palate: Full-bodied and dense, this wine delivers an intensity and verticality that is immediately captivating. The tannins are present and firm, yet polished, supporting a core of pure red fruit and spice.
• Finish: Exceptionally long, dry, and detailed, leaving a strong impression of minerality and refined structure.
