Abruzzi Italy. Aged for 12 months in Slavonian oak (70%) and in barriques (30%). Rich ruby red with purplish highlights, the bouquet is intensely fruity with black cherry and wild berries hints, with spicy overtones... On the palate it is full-bodied, smooth with dark cherry and liquorice licks and it lingers long and intense on the finish.
