This wine consistently presents itself as robust, full-bodied, and assertive, akin to the boldness of a Barbera or Aglianico, yet it possesses an added layer of gravitas and weight. Its formidable tannic structure demands patience, as these robust tannins soften gradually over time, requiring ample cellar aging to reach their full potential. Nevertheless, amidst its firm grip, the wine unveils intense aromas and flavors of black cherry and plum, offering a captivating sensory experience that evolves with each sip.
