Tasting

Beautiful bright pink color, with cherry reflections. Clear and brilliant color. Fine, fruity, which opens with pretty notes of raspberry and redcurrant. The attack is fleshy and coated, well balanced with beautiful flavors. Fresh and crisp, there is good length with notes of red fruits, revealing character and volume. The finish is marked by freshness and finesse.
