"Leuchtendes Rubin mit einem Hauch Purpur. An der Nase nach schwarzen Holunderbeeren, etwas Preiselbeere, leicht Brennnessel und auch Senfkörner. Animierend im Trunk in schönem Wechselspiel mit Säure und feinem Gerbstoff, kühle Aromatik, mittelkräfitg, mit guter Struktur, jedoch etwas Bittermandel im Abgang."

"Potente e di natura mista floreale e fruttata alterna note di prugne nere, more, incenso e cannella in polvere. Corpo pieno, tannini rotondi di grana fine ed un finale succoso e centrato che regala piacevolezza ad ogni sorso. Bevi ora o invecchia."

"Earthy aromas of underbrush, leather and blue flower mingle with grilled herb on this 80% Sangiovese and Merlot blend. Spicy and savory, the linear palate delivers juicy Marasca cherry, star anise and hints of game alongside taut, polished tannins. Tangy acidity keeps it fresh and balanced. Drink 2023?2029.
