Tasting Notes

In the glass, it shows a rich carmine red with hints of garnet around the edges. On the nose, it’s both refined and layered—juniper, stewed plum, carob, cinchona, and coffee all come through, gently wrapped in a subtle mineral touch. It’s smooth and well-rounded on the palate, with a solid backbone and a refined finish that gently lingers—something you’ll remember after the last sip.

Its official debut at FIVI 2024 attracted significant interest from wine lovers and professionals alike.
