Note sensoriali
Appearance: pale ruby red with orangish highlights. Bouquet: the fruitiness classic to Pinot Noir, with a touch of gaminess well-integrated with appealing scents of wild berryfruit and vanilla. Palate: the tannins are still a tad greenish, but they meld well with the vanilla and hints of toasted oak. The finish is lengthy and elegant.
