    TASTING NOTES:
    Ruby red colour with intense garnet highlights. Its bouquet embraces the nose with hints of ripe black cherries, marasca cherries, ending with a spicy aroma of cinnamon, black pepper, cocoa and coffee. It is a structured wine, silky and embracing, and extremely elegant that holds all the typical characteristics of the Classica zone. Its soft and juicy marasca cherry effuses with a great expression of balsam.
