Tasting Notes

• "Picota" cherry colour with violet reflections. In the nose brings us memories of ripened red and black fruits, light citrus sign, flower petals and balsamic fragrance are rounding the set. Firm perfume of fruit and marked sign of the carbonic maceration process. In the mouth it is greedy, enveloping, with great personality.
