Like stepping into a sunlit garden after a cool morning, it bursts with energy and freshness. Aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and plum intertwine with green herbs—thyme, oregano, and bay leaf—creating a beautifully lifted, savory profile. A hint of white pepper and a subtle prosciutto-like richness add intrigue and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, juicy black fruits take center stage, supported by bright acidity that keeps everything moving. Fine, linen-like tannins provide structure without heaviness, allowing the vibrant fruit and herbal notes to shine.
