An absolute benchmark for the Domaine, Mundus Bacillus Tarrae comes from the Adrianna vineyard, planted at an altitude of 1450 meters. The result is a wine with an intense, deep purplish color. The nose reveals aromas of ripe red fruit, violets and spices. The palate is concentrated and tannic, with flavors of blackcurrant and bitter chocolate. A great wine!
