Ruby red with garnet reflections. On the nose, it presents hints of Chinotto, marasca cherry, and Sicilian mint, on an ethereal bouquet with nuances of iodine and nail polish; followed by vegetal notes of rhubarb, medicinal herbs in a frame of golden Virginia tobacco, and dark chocolate. It finishes on echoes of cloves and lava stone. The fresh, savory body supports noble tannins. Very persistent in the finish. A frank and typical expression of a unique territory.
