Aromas of black cherries and light spice

Delicate on the palette with lively fruit and floral notes held by a bright acidity

The wine has the wilderness of Gualtallary, with tons of aromatic herbs (thyme) and plenty of light and energy. a red with inner power and very fine chalky tannins. This should age gracefully and channel that energy into further elegance.
