Tasting note: The eye is immediately captivated by the density of the liquid, a beautiful dark red, almost impenetrable. Who knows what it will reveal in its magical wine realm? The nostrils can't resist; they sniff from a distance ripe red fruit, sweet spices, carob, and the Mediterranean scrubland. But as they continue to dive into the complexity of scents, they are interrupted by the sense of hearing, eager to have its say: "Can't you hear this polyphonic chorus of melodious notes rising from the glass? Enchanting..." The taste, which has been silent until now, enjoys a sip that is a caress, enveloping it in its gentle, benevolent whisper at first, then expanding, taking it deeper, where the voice becomes more distinct, substantial, yet always refined and graceful, with an added touch of freshness. It doesn't lack power and assertiveness, yet the balance is like a tightrope walker, urging you for the next sip, while the sun, the sea, and the warmth of the South emerge in all their evocative beauty.
