Esmén Tetra, Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio
Luminous ruby. The nose is a succession of wild berries, humus, vegetal bush and rhubarb, then macerated red flowers, licorice root, on the bottom well-assorted touch of dark spices, accents of cinchona and iron hints. Expressive sip of the grape, flattering for freshness and tannic scan, warmth in the right dose, closes elegant on a wide vegetal return.
“Esmén Tetra: nerello mascalese and cappuccio, clear aromas of red and black berries, officinal herbs and candied violet; elegant mouth marked by thick and elegant tannins that, in competition with the acid hint, will guarantee many years of longevity.“
