Print datasheet

Wine tasting:

Our DNA: intense red with blue-purple edges. Intense scent and complex of black fruits (plum, blackberry) , balsamics of aromatic herbs; all well integrated.
Elegant and delicate in mouth, sweet, tasty. Just great!
Due to its tannic charge and artisanal preparation, the wine may present precipitations with the passing of time in the bottle.
