About the wine:
Bright ruby color with violet highlights. A subtle nose revealing notes of bacon, spices, and smokiness, with a fruity undertone. The palate is more expressive, bold, and full-bodied, with a beautiful, sun-kissed flavor profile supported by silky tannins. Delightfully refreshing and invigorating, with a hint of herbaceousness on the finish.
