Negroamaro Malvasia Nero. Very dense ruby red colour, on the nose sweet aromas of fruit jam, dried plums and chocolate without neglecting
romantic floral hints of roses and violets. On the palate it is silky, medium-bodied, balanced and tasty with red and
black berried fruits and vanilla, ending with an almond note.
