With its deep, intense colour, this wine is striking from the first contact. On the nose, the aromatic complexity impresses, with fresh notes of mint and olive that harmoniously intertwine with ripe wild berries and hints of pepper. The ageing in barrels adds light smoky notes, lending greater sophistication to the whole.
In the mouth, it is enormous and structured, with a robust body, but without losing its elegance. The tannins are silky, providing an enveloping texture, while the vibrant acidity brings freshness and balance. The finish is long and distinct, leaving a striking and refined impression.
A remarkable wine that masterfully reflects the richness of the Alicante Bouschet grape variety and the excellence of the terroir.
