Vinified in steel tanks and then aged for 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels, it is an intense and full-bodied wine, with an extraordinary aromatic outfit. Ruby red color. The nose prevails with hints of withered flowers and undergrowth; Then follow warm tones of ripe red fruit and balsamic hints. Full-bodied wine, warm and with velvety tannins.
