Organoleptic characteristics: Intense ruby red colour with very dense texture. The nose expresses the typical varietal aromas of cabernet franc, with distinct hints of green pepper and a hint of sage, as well as red fruits such as ripe cherry and blackberry.

The elegant balsamic closure is supported by a pleasant freshness that will give the wine longevity
