Notes & Flavors
A journey, a gesture, a run among the rows, have transformed an instant into an inspiration for the creation of a red with character, intense and lively, just like a child. Together with the caress of the red, fragrant bunches that Azzurra, a daughter who is proud and loves life, made in the lands of Puglia I.G.T. they become the symbol of this wine, one tried and tested over a long time.
This wine has very fine, intense and persistent well-marked aromas, with an ample bouquet that ranges from fruity notes, especially the morello cherry and blackberry, to the fresh spicy notes typical of southern wines, such as rosemary and pepper, with a closure of tertiary or ageing scents where chocolate and light vanilla reign.
At first it presents as robust thanks to the passage in barrique, but at the same time enveloping and warm for its 16 °. The tannin, attenuated by the presence of alcohol and glycerine is felt but it's veiled. The final notes are full and round. Excellent aftertaste with hints of morello cherry and plum.
