Acidity

Clean cherry-garnet red, medium depth, lively, with the natural haze of wine that does not pass through industrial filters. Fragrant, direct nose: wild cherries, red plums, herbal notes and Mediterranean shaded scrub. Medium-bodied, elegant, direct palate with fine, very friendly tannins. Excellent acidity that gives it fluidity, length and a very agile finish. The surprising freshness of altitude on Tempranillo.
