Luciano Pignotaro: 40% aged in barriques for one year and the remaining 60% ages in cask. Subsequently, the wine finishes its refinement for another six months in cask. Deep ruby red color. Intensely stacked bouquet primarily of fruity moods of cherry, plum, blackberry, raspberry and blueberry, followed by floral aromas of violet and spicy nuances of nutmeg, cloves and black pepper. Essences of tobacco, licorice, dark chocolate, leather and graphite. Explosive of flavours in the mouth, endowed with a fascinating complexity, austerity, body, rigor, bloodiness and flavour. Harmonic, elegant, sharp and soft silhouette. Noble tannins. Aristocratic, pounding, impressive and vibrant. Long shelf life. Persistent and hedonistic long finishing.
