This captivating blend of Merlot and Pinot, reflecting a diverse terroir, is the result of traditional winemaking and tank aging. Its deep garnet color heralds a rich and intriguing aromatic experience, blending candied red and black fruits with spicy and slightly smoky notes. On the palate, it reveals a silky, generous texture, unfolding into luscious flavors of stewed fruit with a delicately spicy and toasty finish.
