TASTING NOTESThe colour is an intense deep red, in the nose shows ripe fruit, coffee, truffle with animal hints. The mouth is rich and important which is typical of the great Cabernets and that allows a long refinement in bottle for many years during which the wine acquires elegance and the typical character of the great red wines of Bolgheri.
