At sight abundant and creamy foam, with good persistence of a faint crown; thin and sinuous perlage. A bright camellia pink color with coral reflections. On the nose extremely complex and fragrant olfactory component, characterized by notes of fresh berries with touches of pomegranate and acidulous tips of currant and mandarin, embellished with spicy hints of pink pepper and black tea. On the palate the wine is characterized by great elegance and vibrant acidity, with a notable body supported by the graceful tannic texture of the macerated Pinot Noir.
