Description
The wines used in the manufacture of the Reserva come from vines with an average age of 40 and which after processing are tasted in order to define the type of wood most suitable for their aging.
Tasting
Ruby red, clean and bright. Good aromatic intensity, notes of ripe red fruit on the nose over a very elegant balsamic background.
The palate is soft, cool and spirited. It has a good body and the tannins are well-integrated and polished.
In the aftertaste hints of very ripe red fruit with liqueur nuances reappear making it a wine with a long finish.
