Description of the wine
Color: sparkling and saturated ruby red
Nose: The fruity notes of blackberry and cranberry are joined by aromas of herbs such as mint and eucalyptus, enriched by a veil of black pepper. Overall, therefore, a very varied bouquet.
Taste: Thanks to its stable tannic structure and pronounced fruity aromas, this Merlot is excellently developed on the palate, with a complex structure and a persistent aftertaste.
