"This interesting blend of Nero d'Avola and Pinot Nero recalls a California Pinot thanks to its rich color and density.

"Medium deep ruby red colour. The nose is slightly balsamic offering dried herbs, mint and red berry notes. The palate is youthful and restrained with rather marked tannin, discreet red fruit and a balsamic spiciness. Rather long on the finish but still restrained needing time to soften."
