Selvato

Description

Tasting Notes

Intense and deep ruby red color. The nose is intense and straightforward, rather complex, the floral notes are the background to fruity and tertiary scents that are very balanced with each other. Ripe cherry and light hints of plum alternate with toasted aromas. On the palate, Selvato is smooth, of medium alcohol content, medium freshness, and good tannic texture. It has a persistent finish that comes back hints of fruit.
