Palate & Finish
02On the palate, the wine is elegantly structured and dry, offering a delightful interplay of bright red fruit acidity balanced by savory undertones and a firm, yet refined, tannic grip. The finish is persistent and clean, leaving a lingering impression of earthy spice and Mediterranean garrigue.
