gastronomy

From the nose, you can sense a wine with character, with notes of ripe fruit, bergamot, and citrus zest. On the palate, it is dense and full-bodied, chewy, almost tannic. The fruity and sappy notes intertwine to give it body while remaining easy to drink. This cuvée will awaken your taste buds!
